A couple of years ago, a friend of mine was working for the CI Works Dept and had to make a trip by air to Pukapuka to survey the runway (not that there's any scheduled flights there). While there, he hunted out the guy who acts as postmaster and had him cancel a letter to me (which, of course, then got carried back on the same plane). My friend told me that the postmaster had trouble finding the canceller at first and commented that he hadn't had occasion to use it for many years.

Does anyone know of any Pukapuka cancels in recent years? I'm not a CI collector and have no idea whether the cancel really has been out of use for many years or not. Does anyone know?
