Isle of Man Post Office is proud to commemorate the historic events of the summer of 1940 with this miniature sheet of two stamps which marks the 70th anniversary of operations 'Dynamo' and 'Ariel' and the Battle of Britain.

Our issue text also tells the story of the part played by Isle of Man Steam Packet ships in these historic rescues of soldiers and civilians more widely known following the heroic events at Dunkirk.
