2970 c image1941 (Nov 22) Forces cover to New York State with multicoloured 12pi franking tied by 'PORT SUDAN/ MAILS/...' cds curiously defaced by the censor, Base Censor label obscured by black/white 'EXAMINED BY/1495' label (where?) with '34'-in-circle cachet apparently not a Sudanese or Egyptian type, flown BOAC to Singapore, Qantas to Sydney, TEAL to Auckland arriving 7.12.1941, small repaired tear at upper-left. Because of Pearl Harbor, the intended PanAm FAM19 flight was diverted without passengers or mail by the Horseshoe Route & across Africa & the Atlantic. The cover would have been carried by sea to San Francisco. Such too late covers are scarce from Australia: from Sudan, this may be a unique survivor. (Image1) (Image2)

2977 c image1943 (June) cover from India to Pennsylvania with 1a 3a 4a & 1r pair tied by light Calcutta cds, bluish/pink 'V' (= Valuable) label on the reverse, badly damaged in the crash of BOAC 'Hudson' at Khartoum on 16.6.1943 & returned with 'DLO/BOMBAY/25AUG42' backstamp, repaired with re-sealing labels & roneo'd 'Salvaged air mail Cairo-Karachi/despatch No 65' label affixed (at Bombay?), re-forwarded with 'MIAMISEP/29/1943' transit & very fine 'PHILADELPHIA/SEP/29/1943/REGISTERED' arrival backstamps. A real enigma. Items from this crash with the erroneous label are well-known. However, Nierinck states that no details are recorded. A brief online post states this was the first of two crashes at Khartoum within two weeks. Was it really forwarded from Bombay DLO to America or is the DLO marking of 1943 (which would make more sense). (Image1) (Image2) (Image3)

The riverine TPO on the Sobot River operated for only 4-5 months each year from 8.6.1910 until replaced by Gambela PO late-1915 (see Proud at page 383). (Image1) (Image2) (Image3)

The writer was Hugh Maxsted, the first Ugandan District Officer at the town. The marking possibly applied per favour, as the postal card - being invalid in British territory - was probably sent in an envelope. (Image1) (Image2)
