RAF cover for Communication Surveillance and Intelligence showing Bletchley Park - Station X which played a key role during WWII and the modern day equivalent the BAe Nimrod R1 of No 51 Squadron. As the cover was designed for the jet aircraft stamps the artwork also shows a Vickers VC10 of No 101 Squadron which often refuel the Nimrod while on long-range missions.

The cover bears 45p Vickers VC10 stamp postmarked with our BFPS 2674 postmark for the 40th Anniversary of the Vickers VC10 on the first day of issue 2 May 2002.  The cover has been flown in VC10 K4 ZD230 of No 101 Squadron from RAF Brize Norton to the Falkland Islands and return.
