VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage advertisement for Castrol Motor Oil, highlighting the reliability of their product through an impressive feat of aviation endurance. The ad claims that the Armstrong-Siddeley engine fitted to Sir Alan Cobham's De Havilland aeroplane, which completed a 28, 000-mile flight from England to Australia and back, as well as a flight to the Cape and back last winter, has accumulated 44, 000 trouble-free miles. It emphasizes that this was achieved while passing through the intense heat of the Equatorial zone four times. The ad suggests that Castrol's lubricant played a significant role in ensuring smooth engine performance throughout these demanding flights. The company logo "Castrol" is prominently displayed at the bottom with "Regd. " indicating it's a registered trademark. The text also includes information about C. C Wakefield & Co. , Ltd. , located in London E. C. 2. , positioning themselves as specialists in motor lubrication and British products.
