This is an original post card. On the reverse, the manuscript message “What do you think of this air ship “ and is addressed to South Wales (England) but has no stamp so it was probably sent in an envelope.

The pilot was John A.D. McCurdy; second card old photographs of the Silver Dart and on the reverse an ink cachet “Canada Airmail.

Unique Bleriot X1 Replica Flown Cover, July 31, 1955, built by students at the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology and Arts, Calgary, was flown across the English Channel from Calais, France to Dover, England and return. The flight was made without landing as the pilot did not have permission to land in Dover or to take off from Calais. The cover is signed by pilot Jean de la Bruyère of Edmonton, along with his notations. Listed in ACMN2 as #5512 and unpriced, noting "one souvenir cover known to have been carried and signed but not mailed". Very fine and a unique flown cover. (Image)
