Bletchley Park Post Office goes bang bang

On 1st June Chitty Chitty Bang Bang 'flies' into Bletchley Park. Ian Fleming's magical car will be where its creator once helped to crack the Enigma code during World War Two. To celebrate Bletchley Park Post Office is issuing a sheet of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang stamps. Each stamp features a different picture of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang flying around Bletchley Park.

The sheets will be a limited edition of 500 and are priced at £35 plus £3.50 post and packing. They will be available on the day from Bletchley Park or can be pre-ordered from the web site at Bletchleycovers.com.

The special weekend at Bletchley Park is one of two Ian Fleming centenary events being held there. The second features Fleming's other creation "James Bond". During WW2 Fleming worked closely with Bletchley Park's code breakers providing inspiration for his 007 stories.

Bletchley Park Post Office was the Park's undercover mailroom and now publishes very collectable first day covers and stamp sheets.
