VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage advertisement for Wakefield Castrol motor oil, featuring the achievement of Mr. Bert Hinkler on his flight to Australia. The ad highlights that during his remarkable journey in a "Cirrus" engined Avro "Avian" light airplane, he covered approximately 12, 000 miles from Croydon to Australia. The flight commenced on February 7th and was completed by February 22nd. It emphasizes the reliability of Castrol oil with the phrase “ENGINE RUNNING PERFECTLY ON YOUR CASTROL R. ” Additionally, it notes that Hinkler's amazing flight set new records for both Australian and long-distance unaccompanied flights while also praising his prudent choice in using Castrol oil, suggesting that this contributed to the success of his pioneering aviation feat. The advertisement uses Mr. Hinkler's accomplishment as an endorsement for its product, implying that choosing Castrol motor oil is a decision aligned with innovation and excellence in performance.
