Interesting to learn when we started issuing miniature sheets. When reading the excess face value was going to a philately fund I thought how different to the recent Morris stamp booklet.
Hi Bob .. I have some stamps here from my Mama and have used one or two sets to blog from - use the info .. and add my own thoughts.
Good to read you've just been to Cornwall too - my Mama used to use the Newquay - London, or Gatwick route .. but I used to glide at Perranporth .. before they shut it down & opened a club up near Lands End ...
brought back some memories .. and 1978 was when I was on my way to South Africa ..
Bob, I have a spare of that 3rd minisheet with the 1980 50p stamp (but it is cancelled), let me know by email if you would like it :) have a good weekend!

Smiles to you! My hubby collects coins.
I like the way London 1980 is designed. Am amused by the stamp designer's name--Stamps by Stemp.
This is a very nicely illustrated and colourful set of stamps.
I didn't know they were issued as a miniature sheet. I have the PHQ cards.
Nice choice you posted!
