Stamps to mark century of powered flight

Amy Nip

A stamp sheetlet commemorating the centenary of powered flight in Hong Kong would be released tomorrow, Hongkong Post said. The busy flow of passengers and air traffic against the backdrop of skyscrapers on the city's shoreline are depicted on the sheetlet. The core features include two stamps capturing the historic moment when a Farman biplane lifted off from Hong Kong in 1911, and its replica on display at Hong Kong International Airport.
