Ο εκπρόσωπος του Φιλοτελισμού Philip Parker ανέφερε: “British innovation in engineering is world-renowned. This stamp issue proudly celebrates the projects and inventions which showcase this, as well as demonstrating the extraordinary range of disciplines that British engineers excel in.”

Η Dr Dame Sue Ion, η οποία προεδρεύει της κριτικής επιτροπής για το Βραβείο MacRobert της Βασιλικής Ακαδημίας Μηχανικής, δήλωσε: “The UK is a global engineering powerhouse with many world firsts developed here that have both benefited our economy and helped to transform people’s lives for the better.

This wonderful new set of Royal Mail stamps perfectly encapsulates the technical and commercial achievements made by British engineers over the last 50 years. These great British engineering innovations - several of which have won the MacRobert Award, the UK’s biggest prize for engineering innovation - represent an amazing foundation from which to develop exciting technologies for the future.”
