Cool stamps. I’m not familiar with them. What year? How did they fit into the overall mail scheme?

Awesome, only one thing that bothers me now.. I spent 10 minutes looking for mine to share, for your enjoyment. cannot find them. I am so disorganised.. I will find them. Long story but Yes to BEA. and to prove it . My first flight on this aircraft, G-ARPA was to Glasgow in 1970, and it is a T1.

Ah these seem akin to the US IPSA stamps. Imagine if FedEx sold a stamp. In 1971 the Independent Postal System of America set out to overthrow the monopolistic USPS. They of course got sued into oblivion before it ever got off the ground, but not before stamps were made and issued. I have some of them floating around here somewhere I'll see if I can find them and post a photo or two.
