Airways Short S23 Class Flying Boat “Challenger” struck a boat
while coming in to land at Lumbo, in Mozambique, killing two
members of the crew. The mail was recovered and forwarded on the
flying boat ‘Canopus’. Mail was processed on arrival in South
Africa. This cover from Southampton has the boxed two line
bilingual – English and Afrikaans - explanatory
cachet. In the lower left corner is a circular handstamp with a knight in armour with a sword and 'CHALLENGER' written around the top. Could this have been an envelope from on board the plane?

‘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
