Beschreibung : Red cancellation, only on the FDC NUMÉROTES LOLLINI. The Receiver of the Benevent posts took this initiative on his own authority - his comment: we were so pleased with the success of the 1st shot at Kourou that we cleaned the black machine and put it in red.
These red seals being a common practice at Kourou for large shots, not official corruption, the postal administration of Parus having responded to a philatelist question, that Lollini had bribed the receiver to have these stamps.

An insulting allegation to which we have never been able to answer.

This idiotic reply insults the honesty of Lollini and the Receiver - Never, there was no exchange of favors or money with the administration - the receivers stationed at Kourou were of perfect probity and A great devotion to philately.

First launch from the Guyana Space Center of Kourou, French Guyana.
The first Diamant-B launched the DIAL/MIKA and DIAL/WIKA satellites. DIAL/MIKA failed during launch, but it entered orbit with a total mass of 111 kg. DIAL/WIKA provided data for about two months after launch.
