Short Paid Aerogramme

Aerogramme (Greiner no. 89) sent from Manchester (slogan cancel 5 MCH 1981) to Karachi, Pakistan.

The aerogramme rate was 20 p since January 26, 1981. Hence, the aerogramme was taxed “6 /18” where 6 p is the short paid postage (single deficiency) and 18 p the first weight step surface letter rate to Pakistan. The aerogramme was sent by airmail (arrival cds KARACHI 9 MAR 1981 on back panel).

In Pakistan, the aerogramme was taxed 0.66 R which was endorsed under the postage due h/s left to the UK slogan cancel.

Collecting the postage due from the addressee must have failed for any reason because the postman transferred the aerogramme “To Karachi GPO” (endorsement in red under the indicium) on March 13.
