The Philatelic RFA.  From The Collection of Maurice Mann.    "Duelling Banjos"

There are, of course, many other Commemorative Covers showing RFAs, but these do not necessarily have RFAs depicted on the stamps themselves.

Does anyone know of any other RFAs depicted on stamps?   If you do, please let me know at cashmanatrfaaplymouthdotorg  .
