Francis — Wed, 23 Feb 2011 09:00:49 +0000

2011 marks a centennial of aviation in Singapore. Singapore saw her first aircraft, piloted by Mr Joseph Christiaens, take off from the racecourse in Farrer Park on 16 March 1911 and that marked the start of aviation in Singapore.

Eight years later, on 4 December 1919 about 4:48pm, a pioneering flight from England to Australia on a modified Vicker-Vimy biplane, landed on the racecourse in Farrer Park. From then, the development of our aviation industry never looked back.

Singapore-Macau Joint Issue

Francis — Fri, 04 Jul 2008 07:27:03 +0000

Joint issues by postal administrations are very popular nowadays, both for the issuing bodies and collectors.

Collectors from both the countries want a set of the the stamps from each country. This means extra sales and profits for the issuing post offices.

No wonder more and more are being issued and usually under the guise of cutual exchange of to improve country to country relations.

Anyway, Singaporeans are known to be eating out a lot but I am not sure whether this set will appeal to non collectors.
