Forgive me if this is a common occurrence but it's something I haven't seen before. I've just come across the top of an envelope that has postmarked Australian stamps (Mount Hawthorn 16 Dec 1969) on one side and a very clear UK postmark (Ledbury, Hertfordshire 5 Jan 1970). Is this unusual and what is the most likely explanation?
The UK postmark is a receiving postmark applied in the UK when a item is received. If you subtract the British postmark date from the Australian postmark date you can determine how long it took the item to make its transit.
