Title: Cover of the Day 29 April - FPO 1033 Australia
Post by: Michael Dobbs on April 29, 2020, 12:33:13 AM
My cover of the day is another new arrival - bought on eBay and arrived from Australia yesterday (Tuesday).  It is a very attractive cover commemorating the Apollo 16 Moon Landing on 21 April 1972 - cancelled with FIELD POST OFFICE 1033 on 21 AP 72.  What makes this even more attractive is that it has the cachet of the postal unit which ran the FPO - 370 Postal & Courier Communications Unit RE.  This was at BFPO 151 - RAAF Station Edinburgh Field, Adelaide, South Australia, hence also the B.F.P.O. ADELAIDE cachet.  A very nice item and one which I have not seen before.

Good to see a cover with single usage of a halfpenny machin!
