VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage advertisement for aircraft engines designed by the Aircraft Disposal Company Ltd. The ad features two types of engines: the 27/60 h. p. "CIRRUS" and the 120/140 h. p. "AIRDISCO. " Each engine is accompanied by an illustration, with the Cirrus being a more straightforward inline design and the Airdisco appearing to be a radial engine. The text emphasizes that these are British-made engines, highlighting their uniqueness as "the first and only British low power aero engine to complete the Air Ministry 100 hours' type test. " This suggests reliability and endurance, which would have been key selling points at that time. Furthermore, it states that both engines have been approved by the Air Ministry in conjunction with public service competitions, indicating they meet certain governmental standards for performance. The advertisement also notes practical applications of each engine: The Cirrus was fitted on recent flights including one from London to Switzerland and back in one day—a feat meant to impress potential buyers about its capabilities—while the Airdisco was suitable for training ships like de Havilland DH. 51 training aeroplanes. Lastly, contact information is provided at the bottom—"Aircraft Disposal Company, Ltd. , Regent House, 89 Kingsway, London"—alongside logos or seals possibly representing official endorsements or certifications from entities such as British Air Ministry or foreign governments serviced by ADC's designs and constructions.
