Collection Trust are being displayed during 2019 at 12 museums and galleries across the United Kingdom. Twelve special stamps will be issued showing a selection of these drawings, and these will also be issued in a prestige stamp book which also contains a single pane of Machin definitives.

The £1.55 is a new stamp with ordinary gum.
This is a set of 3 Machin definitives coded M18L MPIL on Royal Mail Leonardo FDC with Windsor first day postmark showing the Artist. (Image is not an exact reproduction: the postmark will probably be smaller than shown.)
Norvic numbers: 4005P.8a, 4010P.8 and 4155p.8. (The 5p from the RAF PSB is 4005P.8)
