 | Lot #819 BRITISH COMMONWEALTH NEWFOUNDLAND Flight Covers 1919 (12 July) "Martinsyde" Supplementary mail (only 25 flown) by pilots Raynham & Morgan, cover franked with $1 Trans-Atlantic surcharge tied by St. John's machine duplex, sent to London, with 7 January backstamp, also endorsed "Martinsyde Mail Bag", fine and scarce cover, with additional Harry A. Truby and October 14 1921 datestamps (as the flight was delayed, the mail bag, originally made up on May 18, was opened on July 12, and an additional 25 covers, all franked with the $1 Surcharge, were added. The flight crashed on takeoff, and Capt. Raynham subsequently went to England by ship, forgetting to turn the mail over to the P.O. until January 7, 1920, so the covers were not backstamped until then)  | Unsold |
