A single rate applies within the Antarctic circle and the stamps are only valid to carry mail to or from or within Antarctica and the Antarctic Circle. A ship within the Antarctic Circle may become a post office. First Day Covers and postcards are all able to be purchased for sending or philatecally for ninety days after issue.
Dunedin Festival Airshow February 15, 1992. This stamp was designed after an approach from the Airshow co-ordinater who new the builder and pilot of the SE 5 Sopwith Camel scaled replica fighter plane . The owner/builder/pilot agreed to have his beautiful Sopwith drawn for the artwork on the stamp and it was printed in three mini-sheets of four blocks each. These were called block A,B,C- and printed three-up on K Doggett gummed paper in sky-blue. Each mini-sheet was numbered and one mini-sheet placed inside everyone of 500 Special pictorial First day Covers. On the day, the First Day Covers were issued and posted from there being cancelled at the winery post office; and then taken by moterbike to Taieri Airport- a small local club airfield where the Sopwith Camel fighter is still based. It was there that a number of these Covers were signed by the pilot Tom Grant before being packed inside a leather mail bag. Tom Grant flew onto Momona Airport- now known as Dunedin International Airport, and after a few low circuits and sharp turns over the large crowd, landed on the grass beside the main runway and taxied up to the fence where he was met by some officials and the mail was handed over to start the Airshow. These covers were sold during the day. |
