A Commemorative Cover may be published in 2017 to mark the into-service event for the new RFA TIDESPRING – A136.
The cover's design has not been finalised but it is likely to have a bespoke Royal Mail 'smiler’ stamp affixed, which will be cancelled using a special hand stamp unique to the event. The cover will be accompanied by a full-colour information sheet as an insert and presented in a cellophane sleeve. The image is an early draft only and the final design will differ.
