Carried on the world's first official powered flight airmail service by french aviator H Pequet in a Sommer Farman-type biplane from the United Provinces of Agra and Ouhd Exhibition to Naini Junction, a distance of about six miles.

EXPEDITION ALLAHABAD' cachet in magenta, 'ALLAHABAD' & fair Calcutta arrival b/s, part of the flap missing; and a second faked cover with KEVII ½a only with a creditable forgery of the airmail cachet in rosine & forged 'ALLAHABAD' & 'SITAPUR' b/s. The forgery is far more valuable than the genuine cover! [The genuine cachet is 41mm across, while the forgery is only 39½mm. Numerous minor differences: the most obvious is the letter 'U' on the forgery almost touches the tail of the plane; on the genuine h/s there is a 2mm gap]

1860 c imageSTRAITS SETTLEMENTS: 1878 cover to London with Queensland Chalons 6d apple-green pair tied by Indian-pattern 'B/172' cancel & a second very fine strike at lower-left obliterating a 'SINGAPORE/UNPAID' cds that was applied in error, rectified with 'SINGAPORE/ D /AP18/78/PAID' cds in red with a better strike on the reverse plus a superb '1'-in-circle h/s also in red, roughly opened at the base with a professionally repaired tear that intrudes on the address but is almost imperceptible from the face, light vertical stain. A wonderful cover, being the only recorded Queensland loose letter cancelled with a Bengal Circle numeral. Ex Dale Forster. Ben Palmer's Census at page 235. The enclosed 6pp octavo social letter is headed "Townsville/30 March 1878". Presumably the cover was posted shipside & carried per 'Bowen' ex  Brisbane 28.3.1878, arrived Singapore 15.4.1878. Without a British arrival datestamp, it is uncertain if it was forwarded per 'Geelong', which departed Singapore 18.4.1878, or if it was held unril 11.5.1878 & carried per 'Nizam'. Ted Proud recorded three similar B/172 cancels. This is his type K6, with straight top serif on the '1'. He states that K6 was transferred to Penang by 1874. This cover suggests that to be an error, or that the numeral had been returned from Penang to Singapore. The '1'-in-circle h/s on the reverse is not recorded by Proud for Singapore or Penang: it's significance or purpose is not clear to us.
