Whatever happened to this issue? I can't purchase these stamps anywhere, including the Falklands Post Office!
ReplyDeleteThe issue has been delayed. A new release date has not been stated.
DeleteI too was puzzled since this issue is listed on StampWorld.com and couple of other sites like this one. But not visible anywhere else. I have emailed the administration. I will let you know what happened.
DeleteI believe that this issue was cancelled. There must have been some problem or other perhaps with the ownership of the images, though I am only guessing. At this stage there seems to be no reason to expect these items to be released. The items were originally featured on the old Pobjoy Stamps internet site which of course, has now also been consigned to history.
DeleteI just got mail from the Falkland Islands administration that they still have not future date available. I am assuming here that the administration did not have copyright release on images on the minisheet.
