upper-left and a very fine example of the 'FIRST/AERIAL POST/ENGLAND-/AUSTRALIA' flight vignette tied to the reverse by one of two very fine strikes of the large double-oval 'FIRST AERIAL MAIL/RECEIVED/26FEB1920/GREAT BRITAIN TO AUSTRALIA' datestamp
AAMC #27a, minor blemishes Cat $5750+ (2008). Two similar covers - with the vignette on the face - sold at our auction of 23.5.2024 for $5040 and $5520 respectively.
This was the first completed flight from England to Australia, winning the £10,000 prize offered by the Australian Government for the first aviator(s) to achieve this epic feat, that today we take for granted. Tom Frommer (2011) identified 364 covers
from the flight, of which this is #74, illustrated by him at page 139. (Image1) (Image2)
