Guernsey 1991
Apollo 11
Every year, the various European postal administrations issue stamps on a common
theme. For 1991, the chosen theme was Europe in Space. As its contribution, the
Channel Island of Guernsey produced a set of four stamps linking events in
space with local happenings on the island. The fourth and final stamp in the
set showed the Apollo 11 Moon landing of 1969, which was the year in which
Guernsey became a separate postal administration and began to issue its own
stamps.
