1935 (2 Sep) cover (opening faults) from Darwin to Nailsworth (SA), flown by 'Monospar VH-UTZ', which crashed 6 September at Aileron (138km north of Alice Springs). A relief plane piloted by H. Boston took delivery of the mails at Alice Springs, reaching Adelaide 11 September, signed 'H Boston/VH-U11/DH Moth'. Missing from most Australian aerophilately collections, considerably undervalued at AU$600 as AAMC #525, and an equally important item for The Northern Territory postal historian
