GLORY TO UKRAINE
Howdy everyone. I believe a week or more has passed since my last update. So here I am with another one. My first card for this time arrived from Germany and is of my favourite postcard genre -- an airline and aircraft card. This one shows a Royal Jordanian Cargo A310 landing at London in September of 2008. The registration of this A310 is JY-AGQ. This aircraft has been around for quite a while. It was delivered to Royal Jordanian in March of 1990. Since then it has seen service with four other airlines - Malaysia Airlines, Sudan Airlines, Lloyd Aereo and Tunisair, all while leased from Royal Jordanian. It re-entered with Royal Jordanian in March of 2003 and continued until July of 2023, when it was withdrawn from use and stored at AMM-Queen Alia International Airport in Zizya, south of Amman.
Isa used a couple f stamps on her card. The top stamp showcases the Jewish Center in Munich. The bottom stamp commemorates the 250th Anniversary of the Mining Academy in Freiburg, making it the world's oldest continuously operating university of mining science and technology.
My second card is from Zagreb , Croatia.
Zagreb, Croatia’s northwestern capital, is distinguished by its 18th- and 19th-century Austro-Hungarian architecture. At its center, Upper Town is the site of the Gothic, twin-spired Zagreb Cathedral and 13th-century St. Mark’s Church, with a colorfully tiled roof.
Ana used 2 stamps here. The left stamp, a nice airplane stamp was issued in 1991, as an airmail definitive. The right stamp is from a 2024 set of 2 issued for Tourism.
Here is the last card for this time. It is from Estonia and shows a Muuga Windmill.
The "Muuga windmill" is a historical windmill located at the Mugga manor in Vinni Parish, Laane-Viru County, Estonia. It dates to the end of the 19th century and is an example of a historic Estonian windmill, which typically had four blades.
Meelis used 7 different stamps , even if some look alike. They were issued in 2007, 2013, 2016, 2021 and 2023.
Well so ends another update. Thanks go out to Isa, Ana and Meelis.
Next update will be soon.
