On the 9th September 1911, Gustav Hamel flew a Blériot monoplane (which looks a bit of a death-trap) from Hendon aerodrome in London and landed on the Long Walk behind Windsor Castle. The blue post box at Windsor Castle, which is near the site of the old Windsor Post Office (1887 – 1966) commemorates the first United Kingdom airmail service. Blue post boxes began to be introduced into some British cities and other locations of note in 1930 and were used for postal airmail services to send and receive mail mainly to and from Europe. Blue post boxes seem to be a very rare thing indeed and some sources suggest that this may be the last still to be found in the country. Airmail M-Bag packaging is the most affordable way to send large amounts of printed material internationally, including newspapers, magazines, journals, books, sheet music, catalogs, directories, commercial advertising, and promotional matter.On a recent trip to Windsor I was surprised see my first blue Royal Mail post box, which is located near Windsor Castle where the High Street joins St Alban’s Street. Airmail M-Bags Send Large Amounts of Printed Material.
Whilst his aircraft was never found a body was found on the 6th July 1914 by the crew of a fishing vessel in the English Channel near Boulogne. Hamel disappeared on the 23rd May 1914 whilst returning from France in a Morane-Saulnier monoplane that he had just collected. Whatever the true reason, come the end of 1938 it was acceptable for airmail to be posted in normal red post boxes and the only reference to the blue boxes remained in the blue airmail stickers that adorned the envelopes of airmail letters.Gustav Hamel (25 June 1889 – ) who safely delivered the UK’s first airmail in 1911, sadly got “lost in the post” himself. A number of reasons for their withdrawal are citied including: the rise of air travel the build-up to the Second World War and the re-allocation of aircraft assets and the cost associated with having bespoke post boxes solely for airmail. Following this first official airmail flight the use of airmail slowly increased and became firmly established in the 1920’s when improved post World War I aircraft and pilots became available to support the service.We are currently in our cornhole busy season, Please see below for shipping times: Plain Airmail Boxes: 2 weeks Clear Coated Airmail Boxes: 3 weeks.The use of these bespoke blue post boxes was short lived however and by the end of 1938 they had fallen out of use.
