These articles were rebuilt from all the superb material my best friend in the stamp world, Simon Dunkerley published in “Stamp News”.

They are re-produced here in full, and for perpetuity, with the permission of “Stamp News” and his widow Angela.

I hope current and future collectors thus gain from this man’s enormous wealth of philatelic knowledge.
