Rare SNA Rocket Mail pc uncovered.

(from our Australian correspondent)

Sitting in a shoebox for nearly half a century,
this extraordinary example of early SNA rocket mail
has surfaced in the antipodes.

Apparently named "Light blue touch paper, and stand well back"
this example shows the secretary of the then SNA glamour dept
mailing out the Window Clerk No1's pay cheques.

Currently the postcard's authentication is being verified by the
SNA authorities in Berne.

Definately a forgery....No trees like that in SNA, or grass, or
skin.....

Now, hold on just a minnit! Isn't that the Swiss enclave, just above
Ciedad de Leon? I think Victor's got a hand in this scheme. Ooops...

Ahem... we now return you to your regularly scheduled program
(programme).

Thanks, Rodney,

Now it works as well with me.

I recognize a typical Australian sand landscape, with mountains similar
to Uluru / Ayers Rock in the background.

I also recognize you with the red shirt, praying :

"O God, please make this Rocket mail to safely reach SNA homeland.

I also do hope that, in order to celebrate this success, the young lady
will finally fall in my arms"

;-)

By now, though, Window Clerk #1 must be getting tired. It shows in
his postings. :^P

I think he saw the hotpants, and went blind

Hmmm, I previously thought we, in the liberated 70's
invented the hotpants.

snip from previous post:

No trees like that in SNA, or grass, or
skin.....

So you took out the trees and grass but the skin remains....but not in
SNA
Send some, maybe the lost invisible hologram stamps will be found and
thrn maybe not...
