FAITH IN AUSTRALIA
RETURN TASMAN FLIGHT SPECIAL MAIL STAMP ISSUE It is expected that Flight-Lieutenant C. T. P. Ulm's party, who flew the Tasman Sea in the monoplane Faith in Australia on the night of December 3, will take off from Blenheim on the homeward flight early in February. The aeroplane will carry the first airmail from New Zealand to Australia. In commemoration of the event a limited quantity of souvenir envelopes will be issued, as well as a special stamp. The design of the stamp will be similar to that of the present air-mail stamp, but will be printed in a different colour, with a special overprint. The quantity of mail matter to bo carried is limited to about 5001b., and only letters will be accepted. In addition to the ordinary postage charge, an airmail fee of 6d for each half-ounce will be levied.
