The long awaited sixth edition of this specialised catalogue was published on 20th February 2013, seven years after the fifth edition and 25 years since the first edition.
Major work has been done on not only adding virtually every known Falkland Islands variety, but also to illustrate them all with enlarged details.
Many sections have been entirely re-written including the FID 1946 and 1948 Maps issues, which are covered in full detail.
The other major change is in the Miscellaneous chapter, which deals with every aspect of Falkland Islands philately not covered elsewhere in the catalogue. This chapter has grown from 50 to 90 pages and virtually every section in this chapter has been re-written and expanded, and there are 10 new sections as well including:
- Avis de Réception (Return Receipts)
- Consular Handstamps
- Crash & Damaged-in-Transit Mail
- OHMS Mail
- Operation Tabarin 1944-45
- Post Office Notices
- Gazettes & Shipping Time Tables
- Postage Due Mail
- Postal Forms & Receipts
- QSL-Cards.
Naturally everything else in the catalogue is entirely updated as well, including prices and data.
The number of pages in the catalogue is unchanged 272, and this has been possible by compressing the listing of modern stamps (1986 onwards), but this listing is still complete and every issue has one stamp illustrated.
