Australia - Aircraft on stamps – not yet sold!

 One more random selection tonight. Last night I showed one stamp that had been sold.  Tonight one that was listed today as we are working through some more Australia stock.

Lovely stamp and from what I think was a good issue to commemorate the Centenary of the first Air Mail flight in Australia by Maurice Guillaux in 1914.

Guillaux began the Sydney-bound flight on his Bleriot XI monoplane on July 16 from the showgrounds in the Melbourne suburb of Flemington. He arrived in Sydney two days later, actually 2 days, 5 hours and 43 minutes later having completed a flying time of 9 hours 35 minutes, with many stops along the way for fuel and to manage bad weather.  The trip was the longest distance airborne postal delivery at that time.  I am not sure if Qantas have since broken the record :-)   Someone may know!!!!!!!!!

I welcome ideas for the next series of aircraft on stamps  and would be happy  to hear from readers on any related topic at cddstamps@gmail.com  See you next time.
