A great postcard sent from the Pitcairn Island, postmarked 1 June 2011, showing part of Adamstown.


The NZD 1,50 stamp features the French helicopter cruiser Jeanne d’Arc from a series of four stamps depicting aircraft over Pitcairn, issued on 21 October 2009. Thank you so much, Giovanni!

Postcard from Pitcairn Islands







Here's a splendid greeting from Pitcairn Island, the only populated island of the four isles comprising the Pitcairn archipelago in the Pacific Ocean, a British Overseas Territory. The picture shows the local school and a set of shell stamps from 2001.

The NZD 1.80 stamp shows HMS Monmouth from a set of 6 stamps dedicated to the Royal Navy Vessels (2nd series, issued on 9 December 2010), ships that visited Pitcairn and contributed to improving the life of resident Pitcairners, e.g. providing medical services and judicial duties.

Thank you so much, Giovanni!!!
