Royal Mail are to release 10 stamps of British prehistoric animals (artwork by John Sibbick).  They are beautiful but we have had a few run ins with Royal Mail as they keep referring to them as "British Dinosaurs" even though only six of the ten actually depict Dinosauria.  Despite this, these ten first class stamps really are first class!

I have a question about that: In reference to the following quote, is Milner still with the NHM &, if so, in what role?

Quoting Mike:
QuoteThe stamps have been produced under the guidance of palaeontologists from the Natural History Museum, including the wonderful Angela Milner, Dr. Milner, along with Alan Charig, her colleague at the Natural History Museum (London), named and described Baryonyx, one of the dinosaurs featured in the set.
