The route of the survey flight on April 30, 1932 was Auckland, Dargaville, Russell, Whangarei and back to Auckland.
Again, the company involved was Air Travel, the pilot was M.C. McGregor and the plane was a Simmonds Spartan. An official airmail was delivered and picked up at each stop with the total flown being 4804 items.
This cover is one of 398 flown from Dargaville to Auckland.
The backstamps show that although it arrived in Auckland on 30 April, it was not delivered in Takapuna until 2 May.
This was the last of the survey flights made by Air Travel which closed two months later.
