Sorry!
Of course it should have read 1996 -67 - It was the excitement that caused
that little slip.
Incidentally, the blocks of Machins used to prepay the postage were actually
quite neatly cancelled by Royal Mail, this may be because the packing was
thick cardboard which took a good impression from the CDS stamp - another
bonus.
