Scott/Guthrie. Mock-up for one of the official covers carried by Scott and Guthrie, winners of the air race, showing how the covers were to be endorsed and where the G.B and South Africa postage, airmail and registration stamps were to be placed, signed on the reverse by both pilots. Very scarce as all the official mail was lost, just two privately carried covers recorded. Also a cover to Johannesburg signed by Alan Goodfellow, Clerk of the Course, with G.B 1/2d tied by Portsmouth c.d.s (Sep 28), violet oval "CITY AIR PORT / 29 SEP 1936 / PORTSMOUTH" and a South Africa 1d meter, clearly carried in the race but without any indication which plane carried it; and an unused "Schlesinger African Air Race" cover franked 11/2d with printed address of Goodfellow in Johannesburg and space for the pilots signature and machine number.
