I came across a couple of rocket mail labels a while back. I have no idea whether this particular rocket was actually flown or not - I have seen some covers originating from the same rocket club that were used and stamped with the appropriate markings (strictly for philatelic purposes, of course). I have this label in two different colours (also strictly for philatelic purposes, I'm sure).   Ryan |

From the 1930's through to the 1960's. rocket mail was experimented on by many countries ... here are a few For those interested in this topic, the catalog by Ellington-Zwisler is possibly the best but hard to find & quite expensive.   Andorra 1962 & Italy 1947  Cuba 1939   US - Mexico 1936 & 1935 Australia  Britain - Gerhard Zucker test flights - unfortunately both attempts to impress the Royal Mail, the rockets exploded The items posted earlier are possibly part of a larger souvenir sheet  |
