Description
Collection of AAT Maxi cards (200+), housed on slot hagners, in quality boxed LH binders (2). Complete from 1989 'Sir Sydney Nolan' to August 2022 '75 Years Antarctic Program'. Noted: Ice flowers, ships, Huskies etc. With additional range of covers posted from bases and ships, incl. MV Iceberg, Thala Dan and Narok S.; plus 1954 'Kista Dan' and 1964 Nella Dan cancelled postcards. [4.7kg]
After distinguished service supporting Antarctic research, in 1987 the Nella Dan dragged anchor in heavy seas and ran aground off Macquarie Island, then eventually scuttled in deep water off the island. A lovely lot in fine condition and high retail value.
