Austria. 1935 (Dec 28) Registered cover from Vienna to Sydney with Air Mail and registration labels, franked Austria 60g with a second stamp washed off, the cover dealt with at Darwin, handstamped violet "Damaged in accident / To Mail Plane", the reverse bearing a "Found Open, Officially Sealed" label endorsed "Recd in wet bag". Backstamped at Darwin (Jan 14), T.P.O 2 South Up (Jan 16) and Lakemba. Also a Sydney G.P.O explanatory slip (Jan 17) which may not belong to this cover. An exceptional origin, this cachet unrecorded by Nierinck (who does not record any mail from this crash dealt with at Darwin). Photo on Page 6. (Image1)
