VISUAL DESCRIPTION
The image shows a vintage advertisement for the Bristol Aeroplane Company, highlighting the reliability of their Jupiter engine during a notable flight within the Arctic Circle. The ad features text that reads "WORKED LIKE A CLOCK. " and describes how Swedish Army pilots demonstrated the effectiveness of retrofitted Bristol fighters equipped with this engine under difficult arctic conditions. It mentions a specific incident on May 8, 1922, where Lieutenant G. Einar Lundborg flew from Söderhamn to Kiruna in Sweden with temperatures as low as -20°C and experienced smooth operation throughout the journey. At the bottom of the page is an invitation for further inquiries about their engines' performance in tropical conditions, suggesting confidence in versatility across extreme environments. The company's name and address are listed at the bottom: THE BRISTOL AEROPLANE CO. , LTD. , FILTON — BRISTOL. The layout includes decorative elements such as a penguin logo at top right corner which might symbolize resilience to cold climates akin to what was described in their testimonial story above it.
