VERY RARE BPMA 2015 PENNY BLACK 175 POST AND GO MAJOR ERROR 2015 Penny Black 175 Collectors Strips (1st and 2nd Class) with the "WINGS" logo under print from the 2014 Airmail issue . From a very small number, (about 30 sets exist). Only a few of the 30 sets are left unsold, the majority have already been spoken for. Fora short while, the Post and Go machine at BPMA developed a default problem,resulting in the 'WINGS' logo appearing with the Penny Black text . The fault was caused when a major software upgrade took place on the evening of Tuesday 7th July. The error was only available on Wednesday 8th July and Thursday 9th July morning and has now been corrected. The logo differs from the one used on the Inland Airmail 2014 under printed stamps, this is because this version was done as a digital essay during the logo development process. BECAUSE OF THE RARITY OF THIS ITEM, IT WILL ONLY BE POSTED USING THE ROYAL MAIL SPECIAL DELIVERY (1pm) SERVICE, (WITH UP TO £500 COMPENSATION FOR LOSS OR DAMAGE) .
