Air Canada operated a passenger service with DC-8's for 23 years from 1960-1983. It also operated cargo service with DC-8 aircraft from 1983-1994. You don't see very many DC-8's flying passengers or cargo around these days. The card is from Laura who writes the blog Stamp Raider at www.stampraider.blogspot.com . Laura likes to receive covers dealing with archaeology. Not an easy topic to collect, I would think. I'm glad to receive her postcard, so Laura , thanks very much. The stamps are an old one and a new one. The old one on the left was issued November 3, 1952 and features Sir John Abbott, a Canadian Prime Minister. The larger stamp was issued February 2, 2009 and is 1 of 2 issued for Black History Month.
This one features Rosemary Brown. Brown became the first Black woman elected to public office in Canada when she was elected as a Member of the Legislative Assembly in the British Colombia legislature in 1972.The second card is from Belarus. It shows an antique car, but unfortunately I can't tell you anything about it, as there is no translation on the card.
It was sent by Misha as a thank you for a card I had sent him. He says this card is a limited edition card with only 300 copies. A number of 2008 stamps along with a very recent 2010 stamp ( the large on on the right ) were used.
That's all I have for today. Thanks for reading. Hopefully the mail will bring something new tomorrow.
