Royal Mail and IYA 2009

Hello everyone, I wrote way back on the International Year of Astronomy issues. I even showed many of the stamps from the various issuing countries. I have been waiting for the Royal Mail issue, and finally realised / found out that it is the Sir Martin Ryle stamp in the Eminent Britons issue, due for release on 8th October.

This one stamp has the Europa recognition on it. This is best scan I can get at the moment.

Nice set as well, in my view. Best wishes.. Michael
