Reader John Swan, temporary correspondent in Moscow, has sent this postcard depicting the Monument to Space Conquerers. It was erected in 1964 in honour of the launch of the first articial Earth satellite and is situated on the Alley of the Space Heroes. The obelisk is 110m high. John has also visited the Cosmonaut training centre at Star City. Seeing the Russian stamps on the card reminded me how much I loved stamps when I was a kid especially from different parts of the world. Now where did they go? Anyone got any good space or sci- fi stamps or been to any other space bases?
