Sunday Stamps V4 - Great Britain - Nelson to the M4

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.

Great Britain - 3 May 1951
I was surprised to learn this week from a TV programme that the plane which has crossed the Atlantic fastest (after Concorde, that is) is still the Vickers VC-10. The VC-10 jet engine appeared on this stamp - 

Great Britain - 19 September 1967
On land, a series on bridges included a viaduct on the M4 motorway from London to Wales.

Great Britain - 26 April 1968
