VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage advertisement for the Westland Wapiti, depicting the biplane in flight. The text below the image provides information about the aircraft's role and capabilities: "The WESTLAND WAPITI General Purpose Military Aircraft as supplied to the Royal Air Force, Royal Australian Air Force and South African Air Force. For reconnaissance, bombing, wireless photography, long range desert patrol, etc. Fitted with Jupiter VIII or Jaguar Engine. All-metal or composite construction. Fitted with Handley Page Automatic slot gear. WESTLAND AIRCRAFT WORKS BRANCH OF PETTERS LTD Contractors to the British & Dominion Governments, etc. YEOVIL ENGLAND" The advertisement emphasizes its utility for various military purposes across several air forces of different nations and highlights technical aspects such as engine types and construction materials. It also mentions an advanced feature of that time—the Handley Page Automatic slot gear—which was designed to improve aircraft performance during takeoff and landing. Below this description is a bold title "WESTLAND AIRCRAFT WORKS" followed by smaller text indicating it's a branch of Petters Ltd. , along with their contractor status to governments and location in Yeovil, England. The overall layout suggests that this ad likely dates back to between late 1920s - early 1930s when such aircraft were at the forefront of military aviation technology.
