Royal Mail team deserve thanks

I would like to pay tribute to Horsham’s Royal Mail team for their excellent efforts in making it possible for small businesses like ours to stay in operation during the coronavirus pandemic.

In particular, our local postie Martin and sortingoffice manager Andy deserve our thanks. Last week we needed to send out our quarterly aviation-history journal several days early, to subscribers in the UK and worldwide, because we were starting to see inevitable delays in delivery, and some countries suspending their postal operations.

Despite short-staffing, Andy and Martin pulled out the stops to help us, and we really appreciated their cheerful, positive attitude in difficult times. Thanks, chaps! MICHAEL OAKEY Managing Editor The Aviation Historian Swallows Lane, Dial Post
