[Philately]

I am interested in collecting items of mail from all of the Atlantic Islands. Due to the relative inaccessibility of the islands mail is erratic and takes unusual courses. For example I wrote to St.Helena to order some goods in July 1998 by air mail, when I received the goods the supplier remarked that my order had arrived by Submarine from Ascension!
