Additionally comes with four exhibition pages with postcards of the various hotel stopovers and a photograph of the De Havilland DH 50 fitted with the Jaguar 385 hp engine, an excellent group (x7).rnRemark: Alan Cobham was the first person to fly from England to South Africa and back, which he achieved in his De Havilland D.H. 50J biplane, with his flight Engineer Arthur Elliott.The flight took off from Stag Lane Aerodrome in Edgware, London, on 16 November 1925. The outward journey spanned 94 days and over 8,125 miles by the time he and Elliott reached Cape Town, South Africa on 17 February 1926. On 26 February 1926, they began the return flight to London reaching Stag Lane Aerodrome 16 days later on 13 March 1926. Upon landing King George V invited them to Buckingham Palace, where Cobham received the Air Force Cross for his pioneering flight. Cobham went on to pioneer within aviation and died in 1973. Elliott sadly died a year after this flight. He was shot as they left Baghdad on 5 July 1926 during a flight to Australia. Stag Lane Aerodrome was a private aerodrome between 1915 and 1933 in Edgware, north London. It became the main base of The de Havilland Aircraft Company Limited in 1920. Former wartime aircraft were refurbished in the early years, and the company designed and built large numbers of aircraft at Stag Lane in the 1920s and early 1930s. Stag Lane Aerodrome was sold for housing development in 1933.Ausruf : 1.800 CHFLosnr. : 429 Sudan
1 / 11926 (May 18): Long and splendid letter from Colonel E.A. Stanton, ex Governor of Khartoum written to Dr. William Byam describing in much detail over six and half pages how he came to design the "Camel Postman" issue of Sudan. A lively letter "I was at the time second in command of the XIth Sudanese stationed at Korti a small village in the Donghola province which we had just reconquered from the Dervishes...(I was to draw) a suitable design for a new Sudan stamps to take the place of the surcharged Egyptian one...on my interview with Kitchener I was told I was to go on drawing designs until I produced one he approved of - he would give me no suggestions...it was not to include Kitchener's portrait or that of anyone else...I got hold of the sheikhs of the of our friendly arabs the Hawawir tribe and persuaded him to ride past me several times on his camel while I photographed him with a postcard sized box Kodak I had....not a success and I could not in any case have them printed in time...I had no paper and Korti possessed not a single shop leave alone a stationer...I got to work and eventually produced a fairly respectable drawing of a Colonel of the Hageen...in flowing garments holding two spears on his back and not Slatin Pasha as some have hinted....attached to the saddle were two mail bags...I added a row of coloured reductions with suggested combinations of colours such as my paintbox could produce...somewhat in fewar I presented myself on Sir H. Kitchener's return with the sketch effort No. 1 and my intense surprise he expressed his entire approval...I received a set of the stamps signed by the Sirdar (for my efforts)....not long afterwards I was asked to design stamps for "Postage Due"...*. Sold together with a photograph of the Camel Postman design (now in the Khartoum Museum); the letter is much more lively and involved than we can print here, but interestingly, the original wash drawing for the Postage Due issue will be sold by Corinphila in the "Besançon" collection of Sudan.Ausruf : 350 CHFLosnr. : 479 Elfenbeinkueste

Ivory Coast 1927-1928, Pioneering Aviation, The Wakefield Survey Flight. Cover flown from Dabou, Ivory Coast to Luton, England, endorsed "Per Flying Boat Singapore", signed top left by pilot "Alan J. Cobham", franked with two pairs of French colony, Ivory Coast, 50 c., tied by "DABOU COTE D'IVOIRE" datestamp 10 May 1928, on arrival in England a GB KGV 1½ d. applied, tied by Fawley, Southampton datestamp, 2 June 1928; this flight being particularly noteworthy because Cobham was forced to make an emergency landing in the Ivory Coast due to the aircraft engine overheating; cover has some minor wrinkling/creasing as would be expected, although in remarkably fine condition, most interesting and important pioneering flight, this being a unique cover. Comes with a black and white photo postcard of the seaboat (flying boat) "Singapore".rnRemark: The Wakefield Survey Flights were undertaken by Cobham in a flying boat, "Singapore" and took off on 17 November 1927 from the River Medway, in the South East of England. It was a venture financed by Sir Charles Wakefield and intended as a pioneering expedition to explore the opportunities for air commerce in Africa and collate information to inform decision making in this regard. The route entered Africa through Benghazi, heading along the north coast to Alexandria where it went south following the Nile through East Africa, Nyasaland, Rhodesia and South Africa. The Northbound section followed the West Africa coast and Cobham returned to Rochester, Kent on 4 June 1928. Sir Charles Wakefield, (1859 to 1941), was an English businessman who founded the Castrol lubricants company. He was a significant philanthropist and his Castrol lubricants were used in the engines for vehicles and especially aeroplanes, one crucial benefit being to actively pull heat away from sensitive areas of the engine to prevent overheating. Wakefield also generously gave a patronage and endorsement contract to fund Jean Batten, pioneering female aviator, to purchase the Percival Gull Six G-ADPR monoplane in which she set two world records for solo flights.Ausruf : 1.500 CHFLosnr. : 200 Australien

The Huntingfield Block 1936 (Sept 29): Edward VIII 2 d. scarlet, wmk. Crown C of A, perf. 13½ x 14, unmounted original gum, prepared for use by the Note Printing Branch of the Commonwealth Bank of Australia, engraved by F.D. Manley; the corner block of four from lower right of sheet signed in the margin "H" (Huntingfield) and dated "29/9/36" in ink on the day of Lord Huntingfield's official visit as Governor of Victoria to the Branch, when the new adhesives for Edward VIII were being printed. Later the sheet produced on that day was presented by John Ash to Lord Huntingfield on 23 October 1936. Due to the abdication of Edward VIII on 10 December 1936 the issue was curtailed and the decision was taken to destroy the entire issue. John Ash requested that the sheet be returned (Dec 16), however whilst this was complied with on the following day (Dec 17), six of the stamps had been removed by the Governor and had already been mailed to a friend in England. John Ash, concious of the ramifications of persuing the Governor, quietly let the matter drop. The block of six eventually surfaced in the sale of the collection of Lord Vestey at Spink in London on 16 October 1996. Since then, the buyer has sold a single example from the block (2015) and retained one example for his own collection. The stamps in perfect fresh quality with full unmounted og., a tiny tone spot at base of margin and at far right of the sheet margin, with some small and insignificant marginal wrinkles at base mentioned for full accuracy. A spectacular block of four with no example of this stamp in the Royal Collection of King Charles III and as a multiple entirely unique Brusden White 174E(2) = $ 400'000.rnProvenance: 1936-1954, housed in the collection of the Hon.
