René Hi René, Thanks for your likes. I was 12 when the first Moon landing took place. I do have some space stamps and some other covers but these are my best. My main area of interest is Cinderellas but having collected stamps for over 50 years I have an interesting mixed collection. I'm from the UK. All the best, Daniel |

A cover produced by the Hermann Oberth Society for German Spacelab Mission D1. The Space Shuttle Challenger, mission STS-61A, was funded and directed by West Germany as a scientific DLR/ESA/ Spacelab mission with specialists Wubbo Ockels (Dutch), Reinhard Furrer (German) and Ernst Messerschmid (German). Ulf Merbold (German) was a backup specialist who didn't fly on this mission but had flown previously. There were also 5 American astronauts making up a record breaking crew of 8. Launched on 30th October 1985 returning to Earth on 6th November 1985, the date on the cover. The cove is signed by Ockeis, Furrer, Merbold and Messerscmid.  |

Block by The Gambia supposed to represent the outer planets of the solar systems, but quite clearly they didn't even bother to get real pictures and just went with coloured marble samples roughly matching the planets' colour:  |

And here for the "pièce de résistance", which I was hinting to way back in thestampforum.boards.net/post/65780/thread, the TAAF issue for the centenary of the UIT:  With this stamp, the number of holes to fill for my TAAF collection to be complete is down to a dozen. |
