VISUAL DESCRIPTION
The image shows a vintage advertisement or flyer with the heading "Hello Spring!" in large, bold letters at the top. The text below is an invitation and introduction to Heston Aerodrome's amenities and offerings for the spring season. It mentions that Heston Aerodrome is located just off the Great West Road, about 55 minutes from Town (likely referring to London), and highlights that people like to watch flying activities there. The ad details various features such as refreshments, joy-riding services, guided tours around the airport, and claims it's one of England's busiest aerodromes with constant activity including commercial machine testing and flights bound for destinations like Ireland, Scotland or the Continent. It encourages readers who are Club Secretaries to write in for more information about arranging visits which promise special arrangements. There's also mention of illustrated folders explaining Heston’s activities being available upon request. At the bottom of this section is another call-to-action inviting individuals interested in aviation clubs to join different types of memberships offered by Imperial Airways, Deutsche Luft Hansa, and Sabena lines. The bottom part repeats "Hello Heston!" mirroring the greeting at the top but specifically addressing those affiliated with or interested in Heston Aerodrome. The contact address provided suggests that this was targeted towards local residents near Hounslow, Middlesex where Heston Airport was situated. Overall, it appears as a promotional piece from an earlier era when air travel was still a novel experience for many people and local airports served as hubs of fascination and leisure activity beyond their transportation functions.
