He had brought Pequet to India with 6 biplanes. The event marked the first time airplanes flew in India. An appeal from Rev. W.E.S. Holland, a chaplain of the Holy Trinity Church, Allahabad, spurred the event. He had appealed to Windham for help in fundraising for a new youth hostel. Windham conceived the aerial post and obtained approval from the post office for officially sanctioned mail. Postal officials asked Windham to design the cancel. All the mail flown was cancelled with the large circular cancellor, most were in magenta but a few examples exist with black ink. An additional surcharge to the regular postage rate was required as a donation for the Church Hostel Building.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";
