VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage advertisement for Smith's Equipment and K. L. G Plugs, promoting their use on flights to Australia. The ad features images of three aviation instruments: a Smiths Revolutions Indicator, an "Ebsan" Compass Mark IIIA, and a Smith Air Speed Indicator. It boasts that these instruments were fitted to Wing-Commander Manning's Westland "Widgeon, " which used the Cirrus Engine with K. L. G Plugs during its route to Australia. Testimonials are provided by Capt. Hinkler A. F. C. , who achieved notable solo flight records, as well as Capt. Lancaster M. B. E. , Mrs. Keith Miller (noted for being part of the first England-Australia air race). Below the testimonials is information about S. SMITH & SONS (M. A. ) LTD. , identifying them as Aviation Instrument Specialists with their address at Cricklewood Works in London. The top of the advertisement features an emblem with wings flanking the initials 'S. S. ' presumably representing Smith's logo at that time, while at the bottom right corner there is another emblem indicating membership or association with F. B. I. , possibly referring to a trade organization or federation related to British industries during that period. Please note that this description does not reveal any personal details about individuals but rather focuses on what can be discerned from the content and context of the image itself.
