Novel perforations?
Hi,
The Britisk PO came out this year with a series "Rescue at Sea" which has a novel and interesting use of perforations. Instead of the usual regular perfs, they read SOS in morse along the top and bottom of the stamps.
It's easier to see when two stamps are still attached!
Have similar novelty perforations been produced elsewhere?
Cheers,
Alastair

The British GPO is getting a bit freaky! These are from 9th January 2007, SG 2686 to 2691. There are six of these weird stamps and 4 other normal shaped ones (2767-2770).
So are these comb or line perfs???
