Congratulations to Maltapost for the mammoth issue of commemorative stamps marking the 70th anniversary of the Santa Marija convoy.

One wonders if the issue of no fewer than 88 different stamps in a single set is a world record.

The skill of the production artist, Cedric Galea Pirotta, in portraying all the 88 ships involved is indeed phenomenal.

The accompanying book on the convoy, by John Mizzi, is well illustrated and a most fitting tribute to the outstanding bravery of all those who took part in the heroic Operation Pedestal – a pivotal event in Malta’s great history.
