Notes about Peter Jennings
Peter was well known to many in the philatelic world as a fine writer of interesting and informative articles, and as a collector and exhibitor of aero-philately and air letters. In 1973 he wrote the book "Aerogrammes", based on his own collection of British air letters (see lots 1030-1084), which remains the standard work on the subject. He wrote regular articles for both Gibbons Stamp Monthly, and Linn's Stamp News in the USA, usually based on and illustrating items in his own collections, with many articles on air letters, aero-philately or Tristan da Cunha. Many of his articles are available on the internet, and are well worth reading.
He exhibited nationally and internationally, winning numerous awards, and he showed to many philatelic societies. A member of Birmingham Philatelic Society since 1962, he was also a Companion of the Royal Aeronautical Society, and was made the youngest Fellow of the Royal Philatelic Society London in 1974. His interest in air letters, which were first issued by Iraq in 1933, led to his passion for Iraq air mails, and later pioneer air mails of the world with a special interest in G.B, France, Egypt and India. The Iraq air mails offered here are undoubtedly the finest collection ever formed on this subject with rare pioneer flights and exceptional R.A.F air service covers. The worldwide air mails contain a remarkable group of early G.B balloon posts, several rare Allahabad flight postcards of India, and probably the two finest known Marc Pourpe Egypt - Sudan flight covers.
Reference is made to "Airmails across the Middle East 1918-1930" by Laurence Kimpton, privately published in 2015. This book is highly recommended. This fine collection includes ingoing covers to Iraq, and covers to or from Persia and Syria. Also see lot 207.

Value Added Tax
Purchasers Resident within Great Britain and the European Union
Lots marked † after the lot number are imported from outside the EU under the auctioneers temporary import
scheme. As such VAT at the reduced rate of 5% will be added to the hammer price. On all other lots there is no VAT
on the hammer price. VAT at 20% will be added to the 17½% buyers premium on all lots, including those sold under
the auctioneers temporary import scheme. Although buyers premium includes an element of VAT it will be shown
as a single inclusive amount and the VAT within this amount may NOT be reclaimed by the buyer even if the buyer
is registered for VAT. 20% VAT will be added to the 2% charge for paying by credit card. 20% VAT will also be
added to postage and packing charges.
Purchasers Resident outside the European Union
There will be NO VAT CHARGES (on the hammer price, 17½% buyers premium, credit card charges or postage
and packing charges) provided Argyll Etkin post the lots to the purchaser. Therefore the only additions to the
hammer price paid by purchasers outside the EU are the 17½% buyers premium, postage and packing charges, and
the 2% charge if paying by credit card. Note - Any purchaser collecting their lots in person will be treated as being
resident within Great Britain for VAT purposes.
