52 imageType VII; 1945, bold strike of the cachet in red ties GB 1d George VI to envelope addressed to English collector M Kershaw, Very Fine, this cover left Tristan on Oct 11 1945 on "RMS Darro"; During WW II, the military censor on Tristan (from Aug 1940) was issued a red ink pad for use with the "tombstone" censor mark which remained on the island after the war. The Type VII cachet was applied in red by error by the wartime censor who used the red ink pad instead of blue by mistake for the cachet. It is thought that only 6-10 of the Kershaw covers, and no others, received this red cachet. (see "Ice Cap News", Vol. 27, Whole No. 151, pg 18) (Image 1)

It is perhaps more likely that the late date is due to a postal delay, though to date no other delay covers are known (Image 1) (Image 2)
