VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage advertisement for the Armstrong Whitworth Aircraft Limited, featuring "The Argosy, " a 20-seater, 1, 200 h. p. aircraft. The ad emphasizes that experienced pilots and the London-Paris Airway have praised the aircraft for its airworthiness and equipment. It boasts about its three Armstrong Siddeley air-cooled Jaguar engines, suggesting safety and economy in operation. The image shows an illustration of the Argosy with passengers inside as it flies above what appears to be a cityscape or industrial area. In the top right corner of the ad is a small inset highlighting "The Strong Arm of Comfort" which refers to Weybridge Works as constructing both components and complete airplanes including this model's cockpit assembly. Additionally, there's mention of winning the Britannia Trophy awarded by Sir W. G. Armstrong Whitworth Aircraft Limited for outstanding reliability performance during trials held at Martlesham Heath in July 1926. Overall, this advertisement aims to convey trust in their brand through endorsements from professional aviators and recognition from prestigious awards while emphasizing comfort and reliability features offered by their aircraft design.
