Although primarily dealing with military aviation, the chance to produce a cover to commemorate the final bowing out of service of the legendary Concorde could not be missed. We are therefore please to mark the occasion with a visually stunning cover which features full cover artwork giving Concorde pride of place.

We have elected to show Concorde in its full splendor during the 1980s coming into land with the characteristic British Airways markings of the period. The scene shows Concorde in a strike pose - nose high and looking quite purposeful.

The cover bears Isle of Man 89p Concorde and Airbus A380 stamp cancelled with Concorde Century of Flight Isle of Man postmark.

The cover artwork has been painted by artist Ross Wardle, who has produced many superb aviation paintings, including many for Matchbox which were used for their aircraft kits until they dropped out of the market. More recently he has won great praise for his work protraying Formula 1 cars from the 1950s through to present day.

  We usually have lots of other items up for sale so why not have a look
