AIR CRASH. On 1 May 1939, the Imperial Airways flying boat â₽˜CHALLENGER' crashed on landing at Lumbo Harbour, Mozambique. Two members of the crew were killed and the remaining four and one of the passengers injured. This envelope to Cape Town is from BANGKOK, THAILAND. The stamps have been washed off on the reverse but there are two partial Bangkok cancellations. It has the boxed bilingual (English and Afrikaans) explanatory cachet that was applied to the mail on arrival in South Africa. A rare country of origination for this crash.
