Please, can anyone relieve me of my suffering (weather it is suffering from my own radiation or my work - who knows...:)

Eeeyy, Cees don't make fun of stamp collecting. I've got a letter in my collection sent with the first night mail flight from Stockholm to London in the 20's. It was flown in the Junkers F13 now hanging in the technical museum in Stockholm (waiting to be melted as you know :). In thoose days, you sent the mail in the evening, it was sorted and stamped in the aircraft during the flight, and delivered in the morning in London. Beat that today if you can Royal Mail/Kungliga Postverket!!!!
