Special new stamps to commemorate wartime history

A special collection of Manx stamps will be released this month to mark two anniversaries about wartime history. 

Six stamps will be issued to mark 25 years of the Manx Aviation and Military Museum and the 85th anniversary of the Battle of Britain.

The museum near Ronaldsway Airport was set up by volunteers in 2000 to preserve and share the Island's rich aviation and military history.

The stamps, due to be released on Monday, September 15, detail some of the museum's exhibits from the World Wars, VJ Day, and Korean War.
