1933 (20 Apr.) envelope to Dr Allen in London bearing a pair of India 1a.3p. tied by a light strike of the special circular Purnea c.d.s. in purple with a second strike alongside, without further markings. Some wrinkles, good to fine. A good and very scarce cover from this special flight over Everest which was made in order to improve on some of the photographs taken of the first flight. Photo


1933年4月20日寄倫敦Dr. Allen 信函, 貼印度1a.3p. 票一對, 銷紫色特別圓形Purnea 日戳, 旁有另一相同日戳, 此外並無註記, 封有些皺紋, 品相中上. 飛越珠穆朗瑪峰的特別航路信封非常稀少, 是為了改進第一次飛行拍攝的一些照片才有這次航程.
