In a word No! I see these stamp issues as being just a revenue raising exercise nowadays.If you look on Ebay you can buy mint condition stamps at below their face value sometimes which also strikes me as daft.

The flight shots are csuperb though and I'd love to have a crack at a Merlin doing anything.
