Great Britain has never knowingly issued stamps with a Yellow phosphor reaction although some Machin issues had a Yellow phosphor reaction due to ink contamination. The Dollis Hill archive contained a few stamps and a few covers where Yellow phosphor had been used.

The stamps are of Light Reddish Brown appearance and are usually a blotchy print. The distribution of the Yellow phosphor is patchy. Block of 12 with Gum.
