Hi Geoff,
May I have a copy of that image please?
Home town. (albeit Yeovilton is 7 miles Nth of Yeovil)
We lived adjacent to the Aerodrome
The Zeppelin flew over us in 1933
They came back and bombed us in 1941

I was there 

having been absent for a few days I shall take the liberty of adding a second item in the Postmark Calendar - of course if this is a 'liberty too far' feel free to delete:-)         So -  here is the Portuguese 15c. 'brown red' SG 886 from this date in 1939, the design of which is known as 'Prince Henry the Navigator'.          I've borrowed from Wiki for this guy, who say ............... ""Dom Henrique of Portugal, Duke of Viseu (4 March 1394 – 13 November 1460), better known as Prince Henry the Navigator (Portuguese: Infante Dom Henrique, o Navegador), was a central figure in the early days of the Portuguese Empire and in the 15th-century European maritime discoveries and maritime expansion. Through his administrative direction, he is regarded as the main initiator of what would be known as the Age of Discovery. Henry was the fourth child of King John I of Portugal, who founded the House of Aviz.""      Apparently the term Dom is a title with a clerical implication.
Seems this stamp is known both with and without the accent over the 'e' in PORTUGUESA - as can be seen, this example has the accent, and is worth less than examples without. 

Prague, Czechia for 13 June 2014. Another one from a Postcrossing card.

this is the green 5 ore value from Sweden - SG 69 - King Gustaf V, and originally issued in May 1911  -  this example appears to show 1916, and it seems this series ran from 1910 to 1919.   The city of Eskilstuna apparently has a mixed Swedish/Finnish population.

[Any NFLD specialists please feel free to correct me, I find NFLD stamps sometimes hard to catalogue - you have my respect]

As the Canadian Encyclopedia puts it "The SS Caribou was a passenger and train ferry that operated in the Cabot Strait between Port aux Basques, Newfoundland and North Sydney, Nova Scotia. On 14 October 1942, the German submarine U-69 sank the vessel, causing the worst loss of life in Canadian waters during the Second World War." My parents, as children, lived in North Sydney at the time. And, over the years I took her namesake MV Caribou on the same trip to Newfoundland. A storied vessel of a very storied island. [Edit: Actually, my mother was living in North Sydney at the time, my father - having lied about his age - was serving in Europe]
