Title: Cover of the day 7 July,
Post by: Ross Debenham on June 07, 2020, 07:47:14 AM
I attach a scan of an AMLC that although posted via the civil post office I believe is very much forces mail. Posted by somebody at RAF Driftlands, Port Elizabeth via the civil mail. Received at RAF Northwood, and re-directed to RAF Tarrant Rushton in Blandford, Dorset.

Hi Ross

It is indeed forces mail - from a serviceman to a serviceman and even more so as it has an RAF redirection form applied together with an RAF station Post Room datestamp.  A very nice item for RAF collectors. 

However, I do see you are ahead of the game here - I know down under you are aheasd of us, but I didn't think by that much!  We are still stuck in June here in the UK  :D :D

Mike  :)
