VISUAL DESCRIPTION
The image is a vintage advertisement for Sunley Airfield, focusing on their services in airfield construction, extension, and maintenance. At the top of the ad, bold text reads "WORKING. . . " followed by ". . . TO ENSURE HAPPY LANDINGS" which emphasizes the company's commitment to safety and reliability in aviation infrastructure. The upper half of the advertisement features a black-and-white photograph depicting heavy machinery at work on an airfield construction site. The machines appear to be leveling or clearing ground as part of airfield development works. Below this scene is another black-and-white photo showing an airplane in flight with its landing gear extended, ready for touchdown. This image reinforces the theme of safe landings made possible by well-constructed and maintained runways. At the bottom section of the ad is a list titled "RECENT CONTRACTS INCLUDE, " where various airfields are mentioned such as Birmingham Municipal Airfield, R. A. F. Church Fenton Airfield, R. A. F. Kemble Airfield alongside others including Luton Municipal Airfield and several Royal Air Force (R. A. F. ) stations like Halton Aerodrome and Grangemouth Aerodrome. Lastly, there's a statement that tenders were submitted for contracts at any location supported by references from government departments like Supply Reserve Equipment & Stores (S. R. E. S. ), Ministry of Works Organization (M. W. O. ), etc. , highlighting Sunley's experience working with governmental bodies. The advertisement concludes with "CONTRACTORS TO H. M. GOVERNMENT, " signifying that Sunley was an official contractor to His Majesty's Government at that time—a mark of prestige and trustworthiness within their industry sector.
