VISUAL DESCRIPTION
The image is a vintage advertisement featuring the front view of an aircraft propeller and engine, with bold text above proclaiming "12, 000 MILES IN 63 HOURS. " The ad celebrates the achievement of the BOAC (British Overseas Airways Corporation) "Lancastrian" completing its 100th flight in each direction of what was then considered the longest and fastest air route in the world between England and Australia. Below this announcement, a quote emphasizes that it's "THE LONGEST AND FASTEST AIR ROUTE IN THE WORLD. " At the bottom half of the advertisement, there's prominent branding for Rolls-Royce, highlighting their liquid-cooled airline power plants as being synonymous with speed and reliability. The Rolls-Royce logo is displayed alongside their corporate information including their location at Derby and London office address at Conduit St. W1. This advertisement not only showcases technological prowess but also serves as historical documentation of aviation milestones during that era. It reflects both pride in British engineering achievements through Rolls-Royce engines and BOAC’s contribution to international air travel development.
