  • No new IPAS bulletin dated 16–18 September 2026.
  • Chan Atak is a sentence, not a stock stamp. A jailed pilot does not rewrite the Channel count.
  • The Channel in this stamp is the English Channel. Dover is not Dublin. The Republic of Ireland desk is separate.
  • The Home Office line of “more than 80,000 returned” is they-said, not this stamp.
