Malayan Airmails
Imperial Airways
Karachi - Basle Service
From 25 October 1929 a direct air mail was also made up for Basle, Switzerland, containing correspondence for Switzerland, France, Italy, Germany and Continental Europe generally. However, little use was made of this service resulting in very few covers being recorded.

1930 (13 Oct.) envelope registered from Singapore to Stockholm, franked at 47c., showing "by air mail" etiquette and, on reverse, Penang (15.10), Malmo (13.11) and arrival datestamps. The latest recorded cover. Photo
