Possible Route : Surface transport to Manila; FAM 14 to San Francisco; US domestic airlines to New York; FAM 18 to Lisbon; BOAC to England.

Notes : Two-ocean air cover, with triangle PASSED FOR TRANSMISSION NORTH BORNEO 17 censor handstamp. The very high franking, and the absence of any other route markings, especially from Singapore, suggests that this cover went by surface to Manila, to connect with Pan Am's two-ocean route to Europe.
