Israel: Aerogramme taxed as an short-paid air mail letter upon arrival in Hungary

Israeli aerogramme #1 sent from Binjamina (7. 1. 51) to Budapest, Hungary. 

Cancels of Budapest 72 (14. 1. 51 -8), Budapest 62 (14. 1. 51 -12), and Budapest 62 (14. 1. 51 -22) on the back. The Budapest 62 post office also applied the „T“ handstamp next to the indicium, attached the 40 and 60 Filler postage due stamps, and canceled them (14. 1. 51 -22). These postage due stamps were later voided with a boxed „ERVENYTELEN“ (void) handstamp because another post office was responsible for delivering the aerogramme and collecting the postage due. 

This post office was Budapest Keleti Posta, which attached two 50 Filler postage due stamps and cancelled them (17. 1. 51 -4). The post office also attached a „Kézbesitési elöjeyzés“ (Late Delivery) form with replicating the address but specifying the (postal) district VII and canceling the form (18. 1. 51 -11).

The aerogramme was treated as a short-paid air mail letter, most likely because it only shows the type designation „Air letter“ in Hebrew characters. 

As the air mail letter rate to Hungary was 40 Pr., double the deficiency was 30 Pr., which was also the UPU letter rate at that time. 100 filler was Hungary’s UPU letter rate at that time, i.e. the equivalent of the Israeli 30 Pr. postage due.
