1965 8th December, printed First Day envelope bearing 2/6 Independence (SG 358), cancelled 'SALISBURY'. Unaddressed, signed at base Lesley Bunting. Delightful.
Note: Lesley Bunting was Miss Rhodesia in 1965. She was in London for the Miss World contest at the time of the Rhodesian Government Unilateral Declaration of Independence. She was badgered by the press for her comments about this, although parried all questions with admirable diplomacy and unfailing charm. After returning home, she did sign a small number of envelopes. She came third in the competition |
