Rare unused envelope, Royal Mail only printed 360 envelopes in total. Branson and his team had been forced to abandon this record-breaking attempt in the Algerian desert. The balloon encountered a technical problem after a mere 640 kilometres and less than a day after its launch in Marrakesh, Morocco.
