1935 Cover to Scotland bearing South Africa Silver Jubilee 3d and 6d cancelled violet "CAPETOWN MUNICIPAL AIR-PORT / 5 NOV 1935 / WINGFIELD" and G.B Silver Jubilee 11/2d tied by London F.S Air Mail machine (Nov 12), red bars then applied to the G.B stamp and airmail etiquette, signed by the pilot David W. Llewelyn, minor staining, otherwise fine and unique in private hands. Mrs Jill Wyndham and David Llewelyn flew from London to Cape Town in easy stages in October; they then did the return flight in a record time of just 61/2 days beating Amy Mollison's time by 18 hours. Just three covers were carried on this record breaking flight, one of which was in the Fritz Gerald Collection which was lost in the war and a second is in the Monk Collection in the British Library, this cover therefore being the only one in private hands. Also several contemporary news cuttings. An important and rare cover. Photo on Inside Front Cover. (Image1)
