Baghdad Air Port 1934 - Macrobertson Air Race UK to Australia

I am trying to find some information, hopefully photos, of aircraft at Baghdad Airport in October 1934!
The 1934 Macrobertson Air Race, from England to Australia had Baghdad as the first compulsory stop after leaving the UK.
I'm particularly interested in anything that includes the KLM DC2, named Uiver, in Baghdad.
My reason for asking for info is to try to link a postmark dated Oct 21, 1934 on a flight cover which I own and which has KLM written on it which tends to link it with Uiver, and Baghdad.
I've tried attaching a scan of the cover, but the forum won't let me.
Any help anyone can give me would be greatly appreciated.
