STOP PRESS: Currently seeking early Australian airline postcards. Typically 1950-1990. Can you help?

Dear Deltiophiles,

Okay, so I made that word up, but I don't classify myself as a deltiologist (studier of postcards) merely an enthusiastic collector and swapper.

As a kid I liked stamps, now I travel, photograph and write stories, so it all kind of follows.

I prefer quot;conventional" trading, namely stamped and postmarked from the location depicted on the card, and I definitely prefer quality over quantity.

Of particular personal interest;

• Aviation, including civilian, military and historical
• Transport, including trains, ships and camels
• Motoring, including auto racing and racetracks
• Weird and exotic locations seldom visited (view cards)

I will always respond with a similarly themed postcard, and if people are really nice, I take requests for postcards ahead of a trip somewhere. See 'Latest News' below for current and recent trip details.

Get writing, I'm looking forward to your first card. Reply guaranteed!
