1966 11th January, long printed airmail envelope bearing pair 2/6 Independence (SG 358), machine cancelled 'CAUSEWAY', addressed to the UK. Upon arrival struck with green boxed 'RATES EXCEED' cachet endorsed '4 AIR' and '1½', plus further 'INVALID STAMPS USED', this endorsed '10/-'. Duly applied with pair GB 5/- dues. An unusual high value charge, presumably at double the rate of postage applied and not the correct actual rate.
