This striking 2/6 stamp from Rhodesia & Nyasaland (1962) commemorates the 30th anniversary of the London–Rhodesia Air Mail Service (1932–1962). It features the sleek de Havilland Comet 4, one of the world’s pioneering commercial jetliners, illustrated against a dramatic dusk sky in violet and crimson tones. At upper right appears a finely engraved portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, typical of Federation-era issues. Highly sought after for its aviation theme, bold colour scheme, and its status as one of the last commemoratives issued before the Federation dissolved in 1963.
