Lot Details
1919 (12th Nov) England to Australia flight cover flown by Ross & Keith Smith, Jim Bennett & Wally Shiers on their winning flight complete with the vignette tied by the "FIRST AERIAL MAIL GREAT BRITAIN TO AUSTRALIA" oval cachet with additional neighbouring strike. Addressed to DR CN Simons, Clifton, Darling Downs Qld. "Valuable" has been added next to the address in ink. Originally a special commemorative stamp was requested for the covers carried on the flight but the Australian Post Office decided to apply the vignette instead, larger than an ordinary stamp & with no face value. Listed in "The Ross Smith Stamp & It's Postal History Reference Guide" by Tom Frommer as No. 290. Rated A5 by Frommer, the env is in poor cond containing a reinforcing card however the vignette is fine. AAMC 27, Cat. from $5250
