NEW ZEALAND 1931, 10th Anniversary of New Zealand's first daily air mail service (between Christchurch, Ashburton and Timaru), a special envelope was produced and signed by Capt. Euan Dickson who had been the pilot on the original service. The covers were all postmarked on 31 January 1931 in Christchurch, but as there was no air mail service at that time in New Zealand, they were sent to Sydney by sea to be flown by Qantas from Cloncurry to Normanton. As the 4d postage was sufficient for all Australian airmail services, it is likely that they were flown from Sydney to Brisbane by ANA and then from Brisbane to Normanton via Cloncurry by Qantas. They were back stamped on arrival in Normanton on 18 February. signed by Pilot Euan Dickson.
