The year 2014 marked the 50th anniversary of the first year of operation of the Germany & Colonies Philatelic Society following the amalgamation of the Germany & Colonies Stamp Club (established 1947) and the Stockton German Study Group (1960).
The G&CPS celebrated its inaugural year in 1964 with the first Germania Posta philatelic exhibition held in Stockton.
Having enjoyed Geoff Reynolds' Catapult article in the Feb. issue of Germania I would like to show another example of a postal cover from the Bremen. The cover is dated 1st August, 1929 and was flown out from the Bremen on its return sailing to Germany.
