Martin 'Keeper of the Flame' Phippard has really 'stamped' his authority on this posting on Biglorryblog and to be 'frank' I can't see it being 'licked' either. Anyway Martin says: "Hi Brian,
Well Martin we have but not lately so this is a 'red letter' day for BLB. And with stamps from Tristan da Cunha too--and for a pie, who can tell me where Tristan da Cunha is..and what happened durng the 60s to it? Now click through here for more stamps...
And just for Martin here's one withy a Volvo on it....and to finish off a small one from Canada...but what's the truck featured on it? is it a Grumman?
So what other trucking stamps ands first day covers can you supply to Biglorryblog?

Our own Post Office produced a stamp with a Commer PB in the mid 80s but I think that may have been a minibus so probably did not count, Guernsey produced a stamp with two Austin J4 vans and another with a Land Rover Minartic mobile radar station. Jersey produced a several old Post Office vans including a Ford Transit Luton and a Morris Minor van preserved by the Post Office's own workshop director. The only 'truck' I can think of was a Volvo FL6 Fire Appliance on an Isle of Man stamp.

Tristan de Cunha is in the South Atlantic, nesrest island to Antartica and reached via Cape Town and the South Atlantic Survey Ships.
In the 1960s the volcano there re-erupted causing the inhabitants to be evacuated off the island. Happily they are back now.
