About the Author

As a Professional Philatelist, collecting and dealing is a conflict of interest, in order to enjoy my philately I chose research as my hobby. Today I have numerous ongoing projects in various stages of development; I focussed my research on subjects that had received little or no attention. I also identified subjects that had not been reviewed for many years - it is often the case that an article that was regarded by many as the definitive work was written 40 - 60 years ago and requires updating.

The inspiration to research something is often as a result of acquiring an unusual or interesting item. At other times I have been set in motion by a third party who asked me what I know about any particular subject. Should my answer be little or nothing, it will inspire me to find out and before long there is an article in the making.

There are several subjects that have effectively been battered to a point where one wonders what else can be said. Should one remove the term Double Heads from certain Rhodesian collector’s vocabulary, then it is possible that they will not have a great deal to say!

In general Rhodesian Airmails have on the one hand received a great deal of attention, but seeking information on anything that pre-dates the December 1931 Christmas flight, is another matter.
A good library or access to one is important and it is often amazing what snippets may be found in old Journals & magazines.

One of the reasons I started The Rhodesian Philatelist was to build up a resource that would allow me to update previous articles and eventually combine some of my material into something more comprehensive such as a book.
After many years of effort I have a nucleolus for a publication entitled King George V Philately of Rhodesia

Editorial
This year will certainly go down as philately, philately and more philately. I am not referring to the art of dealing, but indulging myself with research and writing. Ideas are formed, developed and the search for relevant material follows, soon an article takes shape, it may be a page or two or snowball into half a dozen.

Rhodesia has taken a bit of a back seat this year and the focus on Southern Africa in general took to the stage. New, active involvement with the Bechuanaland and Botswana society dictated several articles on that subject.

Editorial (continued)

The Africa at Rocky Mountain Show in Denver in May introduced many new faces to me and a full day’s seminar was a great success. I reacquainted with the likes of Alan Hanks and Eric Burnett and spent several pleasant hours with Jeffrey Hesselson, all three from Canada.

Ed Grabowski, from Westfield NY, joined us at breakfast and many a tale or yarn was shared.
Then it was home via San Francisco and the June weekend at Leamington. Over a few drinks in the bar, Brian Trotter and I decided there ought to be a new journal that covers all of Southern Africa and aims to promote its philately. The recipe was simple, don’t talk about it, do it, collating a journal is simple, sit down and write it and that is exactly what I did.

The launch of Southern Africa Philately was planned for September, by July we were already promoting a pilot copy of the journal at the York racecourse fair. The stamp trade is enthusiastic, support and advertising poured in.
Soon we had twenty eight advertisers and another six joined at and after September Stampex.
In August I took on The Runner Post thus I now find myself as the editor of three philatelic journals.
