| Additional information |
Concorde's connection to the Channel Islands is marginal at best — the aircraft never served the route commercially — making this a commemorative issued on the strength of British nostalgia rather than local historical relevance. Guernsey has a long habit of licensing topical subjects with thin geographic ties, and 2014 marked eleven years since the type's final commercial flight in October 2003.
