What is e-bluey?

When the British Forces are deployed on operations they are entitled to free aerogrammes (colloquially known as "blueys" because of their colour) to and from their families and friends. This service has been in place for a considerable time. Blueys as we know them today were issued for the first time during the early days of the Northern Ireland deployment. More recently BFPO, working in conjunction with SuperLetter.com, has pioneered an electronic form of the bluey known as ‘e-bluey'.

The e-bluey is a Hybrid mail system that allows service personnel, relatives and friends to maintain a personal and private contact with each other while serving on operations or exercise for more than 60 days duration. Probably the most important factor is that the system is two way. This means those service personnel with access to the Internet can send e-bluey letters back home.

Who is entitled to use the service?

Family and friends of HM Forces or MOD civilians, serving at an operational location or exercise overseas, are entitled to use the e-bluey service.
