Cameroun – Aircraft on Stamps – Part VII
Hello, let’s start with something different today. This stamp showing a map of the country, just about and its location, well sort of, and position touching the Atlantic Ocean down there next to the capital Yaounde.
A little trivia: Portuguese explorers
discovered the coast of Cameroun in the 15th century . They arrived in Douala
which as a port city is often regarded as the economic capital, while nearby Yaounde
is the national capital. Douala is at the end of the Wouri river which the Portuguese
named the Rio dos Cameroes, meaning river of the prawn or shrimp because it was
full of the creatures. Apparently not so
today.
Anyway, back to aircraft. Today another
scenic image this time showing the Rhumsiki Peak, located in the far north of the
country. The aircraft, well it is just an image and cannot be said to be any
specific model. Can it? Well not that I am aware of!
I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend.
Be safe, be kind. I
