First Aerial Mail from Allahabad 1911

We know how easy is it to make rubber stamp and call it as special cancellation.!!

It will be very hard to believe what happen 107+ years ago without any solid proof such as photographs of person present there and all other photos which will explain about it.

Without solid proof it is not fact but a Cinderella STORY.!!

We just have to believe in STORY written by some stamp collector turn in to philatelist (collect stamps or study stamp) about this special cancellation.

This philatelist will also work with Stamp Handbook author, newspaper journalist and blog writer and make his STORY more famous.

Recently I saw 1911 First Flight Cover Allahabad and I was surprised that it was sold for $500 by  eBay seller "territorian1" from Australia.

A rubber stamp selling for $500.!! Do you really think this was sold for $500 and GST was paid to Australian Government and all other taxes.?

I cannot do research after 107+ years on my own, like I did for 2009 Germany Gandhi special cancellation which was similar to 1911 First Aerial Mail from Allahabad. Click following link to read SCAM in special cancellation.

After more research on web I found interesting article from STORY. You can read STORY for more details by clicking following.

But some of the interesting point in the STORY is

1) No photograph available of departure and landing of plane.
2) No photograph available for Governor Sir Hewitt who was present there as per STORY.
3) Million people watched departure of airplane in 1911 and no photograph or film.!!
4) Only one person was present at landing.(postal employee) even it was 5 miles away.!!


CAN YOU BELIEVE ANY OF THE ABOVE FOR SUCH A BIG EVENT ?

So what do you think about this STORY about First Aerial Mail from Allahabad ?

Did they really send mail before British ?

My personal opinion after reading all this I think it's BOGUS.

It's was very hard to find any information at that time so some one can make STORY and start telling story by stamp exhibition, newspaper article, museum display etc.

First Aerial Post : Do you really think it's RARE and demands such a high price in philatelic collection? Is it valid in philatelic exhibition if postage stamps used is not valid ? or it's VALUE LESS.!!
