[QUOTE="Harry Golightly, post: 270224, member: 3001"]Hello, One & All, Thought it was time to share this, to those that might be interested. As most of you know QE-II was crowned Queen in 1953. The British Commonwealth countries/protectorates wasted no time in commemorating this event by adding their design(s) to her Omnibus set. For the last 20+ years I have been adding at least 1 complete representative BCW set for each of these countries. All sets are complete & MNH only, but not necessarily sets of QE-II. Many countries are represented w/ sets of her father, Geo-VI and/or her gramps, Geo-V. I am now finishing the 'collection' by adding a representative set from each of the 11 Malaysian States. e.g. Kelantan, Johore, Kedah, Malacca, Negri Sembilan, Pahang, Perlis, Penhang, Perak, Trengganu & Selangor. (The other 2, Sabah & Sarawak have long been completed & I have them in a separate book). Can't help but wonder exactly what I'm going to do 'collecting-wise' when all the Omnibus countries are represented! Maybe, a completed set of all Puffin Island issues? Having fun at 74, [B]HG²[/B] [B][I]"I bought some powdered water, but I don’t know what to add." S. Wright[/I] [/B][/QUOTE]
