Malabar Princess Crash Air India 1950 First Recovery - from the only mail bag recovered by the team that braved a blizzard to search for survivors and found none. They only managed to recover one mailbag originating from Cairo. ‘From aircraft crash in alps’ was applied in London as was the post office tape. Less than about 15 covers were salvaged in this recovery and this is the only one we have seen originating from Port Said and franked by meter marking. Magnificent Rarity.
