"We at Avion have been satisfying collectors for over 60 years, having been established in 1948 by Ken West. The current owners, Roger and Sue West, have taken the family business to new levels catering for the specialist and thematic collector. . .
Roger B West is a well known philatelist and an acknowledged expert in the stamps of St Helena. In 1994 he edited the handbook 'Madame Joseph Forged Postmarks' which has been widely acclaimed as one of the most important philatelic reference works. . . ."
"Our unrivaled stock is vast by any standard boasting over 70,000 items. This stock includes basic stamps (mint, used and on cover), some of the more difficult Gulf States and a fine range of 'Locals'. We also include a superb selection of errors, varieties and proofs - an area of philately we have become so closely associated with. In more recent times we have introduced postmarks and slogans, and an interesting selection of forgeries. All in all, a stock with items for all collectors. . . each item may be called up by Country or Theme. . ."
He is also the study group leader for BWISC's Dominica section (aj c.2012)
