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

Whereas Second Lieutenant Walter Tull was born in Folkestone

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..

Received reply from Warners. Question corrected. OP amended.
Good Luck.
