Blog # 1663 --- Day 1296 ( That's One Thousand Two Hundred and Ninety Six Days ) Since the Start of the Current ( Second ) Russian Invasion of UKRAINE .
GLORY TO UKRAINE
Howdy again folks. Here's a couple of cards to have a look at this time. First up is this card showing Mosset, a commune in the Pyrénées-Orientales department in southern France. It has a small population of just 313 or so.
Josep and Assumpta used 2 stamps on this card. The left stamp highlights the commune of Lagrasse and was issued in 2024. The right stamp, from this current year, show the commune of Collioure.
Next up is a favourite type card for me -- an Airline / Aircraft card.
Here we have an ATR42, from Hop! registered as F-GPYL. HOP!, is a French regional airline operating flights on behalf of its parent company Air France. The airline was founded on 21 December 2012 after the merger of Airlinair, Brit Air and Régional brands. Its head office is at Nantes Atlantique Airport. F-GPYL is 28.5 years old, it started service with Air Littoral in 1997. In 2004 it saw service with Airlinair, 2016 with Hop! and finally 2018 with Sky Exxpress Greece,

Jean Pierre used a Stamp Day 1988 semi-postal stamp on this card.
Today's 3rd card is from Frankfurt. It was issued on the occasion of a special flight by Lufthansa.
The first Lufthansa Airbus A330 flight from Frankfurt (FRA) to Raleigh-Durham (RDU) was on Jun 6, 2024, operating as flight LH409. This flight was part of Lufthansa's new nonstop service to RDU, which began on the same date and offers service five times a week.
The stamp used was issued in 2008. It shows an Airbus 380, not a 330 as the card commemorates.
The aircraft on the stamp has 4 engines while the aircraft on the postmark commemoration has just 2 engines.
So ends another blog update. Thanks for today's cards go to Josep and Assumpta, Jean Pierre and Yvonne from Austria.
Big Thanks all around.
