Great Britain 2016

On 17 Feb 2016, Royal Mail issued a 6-stamp Post and Go sheetlet entitled “Royal Mail Heritage – Transport”. The third stamp on the sheetlet features a Falmouth packet ship of the 1820s. Just below the bowsprit of the ship we can make out Lizard Lighthouse which is located on the coast of Cornwall at the western entrance to the English Channel.
