2013 - Gibraltar

This is not confirmed yet.

This is a POSSIBLE Lighthouse issue

 

 

 

Release Date: November 1st, 2013

Postal Authority: Gibraltar Post

Title: Old views of Gibraltar III

Why is Under Watch?: Because Europa Point Lighthouse. This is the third part of the serie. The previous stamps didn´t show the lighthouse.  So, this time, the possibilities are better. 

 

 

 



2011 - Mayotte

Jorge from Canada, send me this image of a stamp from Mayotte (2011).  I believe that this is a view of the city of Dzaoudzi in XIX century.  What is that tower? An ancient lighthouse?  I am searching information and your comments are welcome too.

2012 - URUGUAY

CONFIRMED !

Issuing Entity: Uruguay
Date: November 2012
Title: Cruises 2012
Why is under watch?:

Third Cruises issue from Uruguay. Serie that started in 2010. Both previous issues had Lighthouses.  I bet some money that in this one a lighthouse will appear too.

2010 - Isla de Lobos Lighthouse

2011 - Cerro de Montevideo Lighthouse

 Any news or images about the 2012 stamps will be welcome... And do not take seriously the bet.

2010 - GIBRALTAR AND OTHERS

This is not confirmed yet.

This is a POSSIBLE Lighthouse issue.

Issuing entities: Gibraltar, Alderney, Guernsey, Tristan, Saint Helena, and posible others.
Date: 2010
Title: Battle of Britain

Why is under watch?: In 2010 several post offices released stamps conmemorating the 70 anniversary of the Battle of Britain. All of them had in common this block.  The art of the block is the same and it shows (correct me if I am wrong), the White Cliffs of Dover.  Could that white building over the cliff, be the South Foreland Lighthouse?

I am looking for one of these blocks and take a better look at the white blur. I´ll keep you inform.

2012 - Alderney

CONFIRMED ! 

 

 

Issuing entity: Guernsey Post
Release Date: October 31
Title: The History of Alderney Harbour
Why is under watch?:  Either the Inner Harbour, or the Old Pier, or the New Pier,  all of them have lights.  Something is going to be shown.
