Not to be outdone by Jersey, Guernsey also issued a set of six ATM stamps celebrating “Bailiwick Planes. There are two series of these labels, one imprinted “Envoy House”. Each of the series are available as strips of 6 different labels and a collectors set of the G series is available with 6 strips of each value. One of the labels in each series depicts the Blue Island ATR-72 flying over St. Peter Port. Below the tail of the aircraft the two piers enclosing the harbor can be seen. Castle Breakwater L/H is visible on the lower right pierhead and White Rock Pier L/H is visible on the other. Both are circled in red for clarity.
