Hello Alfred,
Thank you for this. I have read your text about the Forum policy carefully, and I can not agree more: if there is not good order, things soon get lost and then the Forum looses it function as an archive and memory. Well, I got carried away on the waves of Klaus’ and your very enlightening and enthousiastic reactions, knowledge and willingness to help this Zeppelin rookie, whose German is hopeless and who is not even a member (yet). So I humbly apologize for swerving far away from the initial topic, which was only the brief April flight to Sevilla. If the thread could be renamed and given a proper place that would of course be great.
In the meantime, I think I should apply for a membership, even though I will try and control myself to the extent that I will only work further on my article on the May 1930 SAF of the LZ127, and restrict myself in the future to Spain related issues.
As for the airmail series Edifil 483/8: I now see the date, and your letter should have been sent back, since the stamps were no longer valid: 16 May, as day late, very naughty, but this makes it also extra fun, I think.
I also see a Meister number, but I wonder who put the stamps on the letter. The post office would not put such a fancy set of stamps on the envelop I guess, just the boring ‘Vaquer’ 1 and 4 pesetas, or the airmail overprints. Or did they do it, in order to get rid of them? The earliest Meister pieces that I have seen are from 16 May, so it couild not have arrived earlier. There is a secret here … an incredible piece!
All the best, viele Grüße, Dik
