1950 (Jan 18) England to Hong Kong "Redirected" Airmail Cover. Sent from Watton, Norfolk to Mrs. J.D. Kelly, a passenger on the S.S. Corfu,

1950 (Jan 18) England to Hong Kong "Redirected" Airmail Cover. Sent from Watton, Norfolk to Mrs. J.D. Kelly, a passenger on the S.S. Corfu, originally addressed to Bombay via Messrs. Mackinnon Mackenzie. The cover was redirected to Hong Kong (B.A.P.O. 1) to reach the recipient at H.Q. 28 Inf Bde. It bears a GB 6d definitive tied by a Watton cancel, two "T" tax markings, and a "BOMBAY G.M.S. AIR / DUE AS." handstamp. The reverse is heavily marked with transit and arrival cancels including Bombay (Jan 24), Hong Kong (Mar 28 & 29), and Field Post Office 585 (Mar 30). Tax was collected in Hong Kong using 84c in Postage Due stamps (a 50c, a 10c, and a block of four 6c). This item represents a complex instance of redirected military mail during the post-WWII period. The 84c postage due rate was applied because the letter, originally sent as surface mail or underpaid airmail to India, was redirected from Bombay to Hong Kong via airmail to ensure delivery to the moving recipient. Under UPU and British Commonwealth rules, the 84c represents the double deficiency or the specific airmail surcharge required for the Bombay-to-Hong Kong leg, meticulously recorded by the blue manuscript "84" and realized through the rare usage of multiple Hong Kong postage due values on a single cover.1950年英國寄香港「改寄」欠資封，由諾福克郡寄往 S.S. Corfu 郵輪乘客，原址孟買後改寄至香港第28步兵旅 (B.A.P.O. 1)。封上蓋有兩枚「T」字戳及「DUE AS AIR」（按航郵欠資）印記，背面貼有 84分香港欠資郵票（含50分、10分及四連支6分票各一組），並蓋有孟買、香港及 585號戰地郵局戳記。本封展示了因郵件由孟買轉寄香港改行航郵而產生的欠資追繳，是研究戰後軍事郵政及航郵欠資轉換規律的精彩實物。

1954 KLM Constellation Airmail Crash Cover from Hong Kong to France Recovered from the 14 January 1954 Rome Air Crash - Nierinck 540114a

1954 KLM Constellation Airmail Crash Cover from Hong Kong to France Recovered from the 14 January 1954 Rome Air Crash - Nierinck 540114a Scarce crash mail originating from Hong Kong, franked with 1950s-era definitive issues totaling $0.60 and clearly postmarked HONG KONG GPO, 12 JA 54. Addressed to Monsieur Maurice Ulzear, Hôtel Scribe, Paris, France. Routed via BOAC/KLM European airmail services and destined for transit through Rome-Amsterdam-Paris. This cover was onboard KLM Flight KL633, a Lockheed L-749A Constellation, which crashed during takeoff at Rome Ciampino Airport on 14 January 1954. The aircraft had originated in Bangkok and carried airmail from across Southeast Asia, including Hong Kong, Singapore, and Indonesia. The crash resulted in multiple fatalities, but a portion of the international mail was salvaged. The front of this envelope bears a two-line Italian crash cachet applied in Rome: "Corrispondenza recuperata in seguito/incidente aereo del 14 GEN 1954" (Correspondence recovered following the air accident of 14 January 1954) Despite significant crash-related soiling and wear (as typical of recovered covers), the cachet and destination address remain fully legible. A prominent example of post-WWII airmail disaster mail, rarely seen from Hong Kong origin to a French address. Reference: Listed in Henri Nierinck's authoritative work "Répertoire des Accidents d'Avions Transportant du Courrier Aérien", as entry #540114a, describing the 1954 Rome crash involving KLM Flight KL633 and its recovered correspondence.1954年 KLM 康斯特雷萊申號空難郵件:由香港寄往法國 1954年1月14日羅馬空難回收郵件-Nierinck編號 540114a 此為罕見的空難郵件,起源於香港,貼有1950年代普通郵票共值$0.60,清晰蓋有香港總局郵戳日期為1954年1月12日,寄往法國巴黎史克里布飯店的Maurice Ulzear 先生。經 BOAC/KLM 歐洲航線,預定經羅馬——阿姆斯特丹——巴黎轉運。該郵件搭載 KLM 第KL633號班機,一架洛克希德L-749A 康斯特雷菜中型飛機,於1954年1 月14日在羅馬錢皮諾機場起飛時失事。飛機自曼谷起飛,載有大量來自東南亞(包括香港、新加坡及印尼)的郵件。儘管事故造成多人罹難,部分國際郵件仍被成功回收。信封正面蓋有一枚由義大利郵政機關加蓋的二行文字戳記,內容如下: "Corrispondenza recuperata in seguito/Incidente aereo del 14 GEN 1954" (譯:1954年1月14日飛機事故後回收之郵件) 雖有明顯空難引致的污損與磨損(此類回收郵件常見現象),但戳記及地址仍清晰可辨。此為戰後航空災難郵件的重要例證,來自香港寄往法國者更屬罕見。參考資料:載於Henri Nierinck 權威著作《Répertoire des Accidents d'Avions Transportant du Courrier Aérien,編號#540114a,描述1954年羅馬 KLM 空難及其所回收之郵件。
