South Africa 1911 Rare Second Return Flight, Overseas Mailing

SA: 1911 First Aerial Post souvenir card carried SECOND RETURN flight Muizenberg to Kenilworth. Franked Transvaal KEVII 1d tied by Kalk Bay cds DE 29. ADDRESSED TO IRELAND. With special MUIZENBERG "aerial post" cachet of DEC 30 11 and similarly dated KENILWORTH cachet at left (both these cachets illustrate the incorrect prior flights dates still in use. The placement of Muizenberg cachet to right and Kenilworth cachet to left appears to have been convention applied for this flight). VF example of this Aerophilatelic rarity. Few survive of the only 179 cards carried, an overseas destination all the more exceptional. Key exhibition piece. Ex Hudson.
