Quote from Steve on August 15, 2025, 12:29 pmHere is something I found on Park Smith as a result of looking for info on the 1936 Empire Exhbition.
Roy Ross generously supplied us with his display on the Empire Exhbition. You can see it by CLICKING HERE.
There are a number of covers associated with this exhibition which Roy shows. The official covers are dealt with in their own section. The cover below is an unofficial one which is dealt with separately at the end of the display ie. scroll down to the bottom. It shows a 'natve; warrior, most likely a Zulu. These covers are uncommon but not rare. Roy's suggestion in the caption at the bottom of the cropped display page image below is that these covers were privately printed by Park Smith, Aero-Philatelist, The Strand, C.P., South Africa. If true, this is for me, at any rate, a new discovery about Park Smith and the origin of these particular JIPEX covers.
