Coming soon . . . the Pitcairn Wind Stamp Issue

I can see it now, a new issue of stamps featuring Wind Turbines on Pitcairn.

Unlike many other people, I think they are great! I regularly visit Cornwall and know that I am there as soon as I catch a glimpse of the first Wind Farm. I would have one in my back garden if I could, and I would love to see them on the South Downs - I think of them as a sign of progress, not a sign that we are ruining the countryside. To put them on Pitcairn is a great idea - free clean energy (although I do know that a lot of energy is actually used to make them, you have to admit that it is better than barrels of oil being shipped hundreds of miles by sea to the Island).
