Back in 2014 I posted stamps from Gibraltar commemorating Horatio Nelson and the Battle of Trafalgar (here).
His flagship at Trafalgar was HMS Victory which I have found on a Great Britain stamp from 1951.

Engines are a very unusual theme for stamps. Being a mechanic's daughter, I like it. The colours of the design are nice, and also those of the viaduct stamp.

Very nice stamps and enterprising as well!
