1938 VOORTREKKER CENTENARY PIGEON POST:
Message "flimsy" together with leg wrapper from this pigeon post organised by Park Smith to commemorate the Centenary of the Voortrekkers and Great Trek.
The birds were released in Bloemfontein on 29 October and reached The Strand (Cape) the next day.
Whilst the manuscript notations and numberings imply that this pigeongram was number 551 of 743 flown, it is probable that a far fewer number were actually flown.
The envelope is endorsed on reverse
"Pigeon Post Bloemfontein to Strand, CP. 565 miles. Only 6 carried."
In support of that statement, only two other surviving examples (No's 554 & 558) are recorded to date.
A wonderful complete "set" together with the envelope in which onward mailed to recipient,
franked Voortrekker Monument 1d tied Cape Town cds 2 XI 38.
VF, rare, an aerophilatelic showpiece.
Ex Jeidel & Polakow.
