    1924: Cover to Basrah endorsed 'By Overland Mail / Caiffa-Baghdad' with MOTOR MAIL label at left, franked at 30 m. (sufficient for both the Nairn Bus or the Air service) tied by Alexandria datestamps (Sept 22). The cover was sent by Airmail instead and the label tied 'By Air Mail' with violet handstamp. Reverse with Baghdad transit and Basrah arrival (29/9). Scarce and most unusual usage.
