‘PRESTWICK 1954’. The B.O.A.C Stratocruiser was on a flight from Heathrow Airport, England, to New York, United States with scheduled stop-overs at Manchester Airport, in Northern England and Prestwick Airport in Scotland. Due to the bad weather it was decided to fly directly to Prestwick and the flight was delayed while it waited for a Manchester passenger to be brought to London. It was 03:30 in driving rain when ’Cathay’ was about to land at Prestwick; it landed short of the runway forcing the port landing gear into the wing causing the aircraft to overturn and burst into flames, killing 28 of the 36 on board. Among the 250 bags of mail cargo was a £900,000 consignment of diamonds for a New York address This cover to the USA has a violet boxed ‘SALVAGED MAIL / AIRCRAFT CRASH / PRESTWICK 25-12-54’ cachet

1935 ‘MARBOE’. 1935 partially burned cover to Holland with a 42½c cancelled BATAVIA 12.7.35. The letter was on the K.L.M. DC 2 ‘Maraboe’, that early in the morning of Wednesday 17th July started off from Bushire airport which was known for its uneven and bumpy runway. The plane ran 300 metres and at a speed of 120 km/h it hit a bump on the runway and the right landing gear was sheared off and a fuel pipe caught fire. Crew and passengers were unhurt, but the plane was completely destroyed in the fire. An ambulance cover accompanies the damaged cover with an type-written explanatory note at the top. This ambulance cover does not appear to belong with this cover. It is possible that as the cover was not too badly damaged, it may have been forwarded without an ambulance cover. However, the two go well together to explain wat happened that morning in Bushire. Uncommon
