Doc's Local Post - Label Cinderella

[BasSWarwick]

Anyone know anything about these labels/cinderellas?
I added this cover on to an order today to make up the numbers.....it looked interesting.

The cover celebrates Soyuz 14 docking with Salyut 3.

On 4 July Soyuz 14 docked with the Salyut 3 space station after 15 revolutions of the earth. The planned experimental program included manned military reconnaissance of the earth's surface, assessing the fundamental value of such observations, and some supplemental medico-biological research. All objectives were successfully completed and the spacecraft was recovered on July 19, 1974 at 12:21 GMT, landing within 2 km of the aim point 140 km SE Dzhezkazgan.

Docs Local Post is the handiwork of Doc Nichol. He passed away last year. I wouldn't be surprised if someone at the Oregon Stamp Society is preparing(or has already prepared) an exhibit of his space/airplane stamps and covers.

Butterfly,
Thanks for the info, you've solved part of the mystery. Did he make up the Soyuz (and other) covers?

I think I've had a 'Docs Post' label on a cover before sometime in the distant past.

A bit more digging and I've discovered 'Doc' (Doc Nichol) was also a member of the 'Art Covers Exchange Group' 

Looks like he had an Inward Mail Stamp - Docs Inward Mail.

If you come across any of Doc's covers place them in this thread.
