The first varieties (419a1 - 419f1) come from the initial coil printings and have Air Ambulance printed on the stamp side of the backing paper (as shown above) and 'Sprintpak - SNP' and a 6mm square optical counting box on the rear of the backing paper. These stamps have a phosphor frame which appears pink under ultraviolet light and is either shaped to fit the border design on the stamp or as a rectangle.
The second group of varieties (419a2 - 419f2) are from the 1996 Stamp Year Book and still have the Air Ambulance motif on the stamp side of the backing paper but no printing on the rear of the backing paper.
The third group of varieties (419a3 - 419f3) were printed when the Air Ambulance sponsorship agreement ended. They obviously have no motif on the stamp side of the backing paper and a 3mm by 8mm rectangular optical counting mark on the rear of the backing paper.
The next group of varieties (419a4 - 419f4) come from the numerous booklets - the first of which was issued on the 14th of January 1998. They either have a rectangular phosphor frame or are printed on phosphor coated paper - depending on the booklet they originate from.
Varieties 419c5 and 419k1 originate from scenic booklets containing two 40 cent Tory Channel stamps - the stamp in row two column one and shown above on the left is printed correctly with 'Tory Channel / Malborough Sounds', the second stamp in row two column three is missing the 'Malborough Sounds' label as shown above on the right.
The last group of varieties (419a5, 419b5, 419c6, 419d5, 419e5 and 419f5) were printed in April and December 2000 at short notice by Southern Colour Print on phopshor coated paper of two different thicknesses with no printing on the either side of the backing paper.
Some catalogues include the 1996 AirPost Booklet stamp, the $1.10 self adhesive 2000 Scenic Definitives stamp and the 10 and 90 cent 2004 Scenic Definitives stamps under this issue.
