1954 Belfast (13th Mar) (see details above) Large A4 size OHMS cover addressed to London by hand containing the ORIGINAL Registered cover to the Commercial Banking Company of Sydney, Lombard St, London complete with wax seals. Very badly burnt but still with GPO Sydney Reg label & a remaining 10/- Arms & 9d Platypus. Other stamps missing. Obviously forwarded under new cover with the red cachet, "SALVAGED MAIL -AIRCRAFT CRASH - SINGAPORE 13.3.54" applied. One of the larger covers from this disaster & scarcer as a result especially with the genuine usage of the Arms issue.
