Antwort auf: LZ127 in Sevilla 1930

Recht herzlich Dank, Klaus. Dein Englisch ist naturlich sehr gut. Mein Deutsch ist nicht gut genug fuer aktives Gebrauch, aber ich kan es sehr gut verstehen. Du kannst mich auch auf Deutsch antworten, wenn das leichter ist.

I find the topic both fascinating and complex, with much room for research left, but there is also quite a gap in my knowledge still, as a new-kid-on-the-zeppelin-block. I tried to find a Sieger Zeppelin catalogue, but they do not seem to be easy to lay hands on …

When I understand well,. you think my hypothesis is right that part of the Spanish mail indeed went back to Friedrichshafen with the LZ127, but my card and letter with the Gare du Nord Avion cancel must have gone by train to Paris and then by air to the Germany. That they have a Sevilla airmail stamp is then because something went wrong last minute, and they missed being brought on board. I know that there was no guarantee that mail meant for the Zeppelins would be put on the airship. They could be late, or not with the right amount of postage paid.  I should look for a card or letter then that has a Friedrichshafen arrival cancel of 17 April I guess.

I have a few other questions, so I will bother you and fellow members again soon … I hope you do not mind!

Herzliche Gruesse,

Dik

Thanks again!
