    1965: 30 n.p. carmine-lilac on blue postal stationery Air Letter, a fresh mint example (Greyphil/Jones AE2) showing 'To open slit along here' on obverse, together with a further equally fine mint example with "Additional White Dot" flaw on Shaikh Shakhbut bin Sultan's chest (AE 2 var, unlisted on this printing). Scarce and very fine: T. E. Jones states 'extremely rare as there is no evidence this was issued before the Shaikh was deposed'.
