No, the boxes have not been unpacked yet, but I did find a few things I had scanned some time ago. One of the most interesting items is this card for the first "high speed" airmail flight to the Netherlands Indies with the Pander Postjager. It turned out to be a bit of a disaster and not at all what the Pander company had expected when they issued this beautiful card.

Thanks for the post, very entertaining. I can't imagine taking 12 days to go from Holland to the Dutch Indies - you really had to want to go in order to put up with that much travelling .... Ryan

Here's a rather comical commemoration of the Pander Postjager's crew; Geijsendorffer, Asjes and van Stratten, on their inaugural flight:
