Danish Aerogramme Form Used in Australia

Sent from FREMANTLE (machine cancel 4 JAN 1964) to Kastrup, Denmark, by a crew member of M/S SONGKHLA, a cargo vessel of East Asiatic Line operating Europe to South East Asia, Far East, Australia/New Zealand Transpacific services. The message on the writing panel is dated “1-1-1964 Indiske Ocean”.

Aerogramme forms used in Australia must have been approved by the Postmaster-General’s department. Hence, for this aerogramme the usual airmail letter rates applied. However, the aerogramme was franked at the 10 d aerogramme rate and went through the Australian postal network undiscovered.

A correct use of a Danish aerogramme form in Australia can also be found here on the blog.
