Spanish overprint
Malaga is also a province (suburb) of Perth, here. we have lots of names with Spanish influence. "Pedro" wrote in message ... Malaga is a province of Spain. It is interesting to know that it may be a private overprint as Blair appoints. It read "Malaga saluda al conde ___" which means "Malaga salutes the count/earl ____". It may be making reference to a certain count visit to Malaga, perhaps. Interesting! Pedro |

I once saw a notice of a google earth image of a flying car in Perth,
Australia. I think I have the satellite image somewhere, did you hear something of that? Pedro "rodney" wrote in message ...

Hi Pedro,
No, I know nothing of that I saw flying cars in the 70's but nothing of late. We had a car covered with postage stamps but that was riveted to the ground via gravity. "Pedro" wrote in message ...

There are quite a few discussions on Ciano on the internet, and whether he was a traitor to his country. It is not in my area or time of interest in history but he certainly generates some interest. "Asia-translation" wrote in message ... According to Count Ciano's Diaries, he left for Spain on the 9 July, and was back in Rome on the 19th. The Diaries are blank for the Spanish visit, but he does record (on the 19th) 'I have set down my impressions of Spain in a notebook. The Duce is quite satisfied with the report on my Spanish trip.' Elsewhere, Ciano is not very flattering about Franco. Unfortunately, as my copy of the Diaries lacks an index, I can't trace the relevant comments. Tony of the Antipodes |

Tony of the Antipodes The Ciano Diaries are a fascinating (if I can be forgiven the obscure pun) read. They gave me an entirely new perspective on the Second World War - and left me uncertain of what to make of Ciano, too. A very clear-eyed Fascist, if that isn't a contradiction in terms. Tony |
