In which town was Water Tull born?
Folkestone :j
Felixstowe
Filey
[STRIKE]I think they have messed up the question (again). I cannot find any reference regarding the birth place of Lieutenant Hopwood.
However, this set of stamps includes a picture of Second Lieutenant Walter Tull and the stamp description states that he was born in Folkestone.
So I think they have put the wrong name in the question. I have sent them a message asking the question.[/STRIKE] Corrected.

I think you are correct, it is the wrong question.
This link seems to say that he was born in Hurst, Berkshire

HI guys - the £1.55 stamp shows the goggles of WW1 pilot Lt Francis Hopgood; not the same person as the Dambuster pilot. I can't find anything more about him so I think Bob is correct and they have messed up the question..I need to think of something new here...0
