| Abstract: | On 10 January the RAF, Luqa commemorated the 60th Anniversary of the formation of No. 13 Squadron, at present stationed in Malta, with a specially flown souvenir cover, which forms part of the RAF Museum Squadron series. The cover shows aircraft used by the squadron during its 60 years of operation, namely the BE2c (1915-1917); the Hawker Hector (1937-1939); and Canberra PR7 (1956 to date). The cover also carried descriptive details of the special flight and the squadron badge, and it bore a 1c3 Malta stamp of the then current Universal Postal Union issue, which appropriately depicts transport through the ages.
