The Postal Museum marks the centenary of Airmail events with Post & Go stamps

Post & Go stamps mark 100 years since several historic Airmail “firsts”.

Airmail 1919 Post & Go stamps

We are pleased to announce that the Royal Mail Post & Go stamps marking the centenary of several Airmail “firsts” in 1919 – the RAF flights to Cologne, the first flight across the Atlantic, the first flight to Paris and the pioneer flight to Australia, will be available from our Post & Go machine from 11 September 2019.

The stamps featuring the Mail by Air theme, first issued in 2017, will replace the Union Flag design with the ‘The Postal Museum/ Airmail 1919’ overprint.

In addition to Post & Go stamps, a First Day Cover and a Presentation Pack containing a collector’s strip of six 1st class Mail by Air designs will be available from the museum’s shop until further notice, as well as during Autumn Stampex from 11 to 14 September.  You can also pre-order the products from our online shop now.
