2850. 🇬🇧 Royal Mail Concorde Stamps 2026.

 

New issues -

🇬🇧 Royal Mail -

21 January 2026 - 50th anniversary of Concorde - 8 stamps plus other products. A post on Stampboards by Gavin-h reporting on a posting on a Facebook page illustrates the set of 8 stamps in a presentation pack to be released to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Concorde. This landmark in aviation history and a triumph of British industry is deserving of commemoration on a postage stamp but a set of 8 stamps (4 se-tenant pairs - all 1st Class rate) featuring the aircraft plus other products is clearly excessive and ultimately not even very interesting especially when Concorde has been featured previously on Royal Mail stamps. Rating:- **.

🇹🇴 Tonga Post -

3 December 2025 - 80th anniversary of the end of the ‘World Anti-Fascist War’ (Second World War) (see Blog 2846). This issue in the form of a sheetlet with face value of  $9 may be hard to come by judging by the response below from Tonga Post to my request to them for information on how to buy it. Available locally, Tonga Post does not seem to have any arrangements in place for its purchase by overseas collectors. 

Note the email does not mention that it may be purchased from Philatelic Collector Inc, its former agents based in the USA. It might be worth some enterprising dealer in New Zealand or Australia buying an air ticket and dropping in on Nuku’Alofa post office and purchasing as many as they can obtain to sell at a healthy profit.
