NH 90 delivers new stamps

The five stamps show devices that are used for life-saving emergency aid. The special issue pays tribute to the hundreds of military personnel involved in such operations. Kurt Verwilghen, Belgian Air Force: “It is a sheet with five aircraft. Not just any aircraft, they have all played a humanitarian role in the past. I am thinking of the C130, known from the drops in the Sahel region, but also the last year’s operation Red Kite, which saw the evacuation between Kabul and Islamabad.Also the Seaking that has saved so many lives at sea.The Merlin is one of the other aircraft featured on the skins and often used for organ transport.

The new stamps received a value of two from bpost. This means that one stamp is enough to send a regular letter. Today, few stamps are affixed. It is mainly a must-have for collectors and the Koksijde Air Force Base is contributing to this. The Seaking becomes a stamping office for one day.
