THEY NEVER USED A LATER PORTRAIT OF QUEEN VICTORIA.
Though many colonies used an image of an older Victoria, in Great Britain her image on postage stamps never aged.

SPAIN
The very first stamp showing a domestic cat dates back to 1930, from a Spanish set picturing famous aviators of the period. The 1-peseta value (above) shows Lindbergh's departing plane Spirit of St Louis, with his black kitten Patsy sitting in one corner wistfully watching it leave.

THE ORIGINAL SHOWED THE WRONG SHIP
The 1980 issue actually showed a ship called the 'Morning'. The Nimrod was used by Ernest Shackleton for his 1907-09 expedition.


QUESTION 13

What is the current name of the country which formerly issued stamps printed with the name Haute-Volta?

BURKINA FASO
Burkina Faso was previously called Upper Volta (Haute-Volta in French), after the fact that the country contains the upper part of the river Volta. In 1984, the name was changed to Burkina Faso, which means 'the land of upright people'. Haute-Volta was also overprinted on stamps of Upper Senegal and Niger for Upper Volta.



QUESTION 14

Whose initiative led to the development of the 'Penny Black'?
