VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage advertisement boasting the remarkable reliability of the Gipsy-Moth airplane, which has flown 41, 800 miles and is still operational. The ad highlights that this impressive feat was achieved using Wakefield Castrol XXL oil. It emphasizes the plane's endurance despite only having its magneto replaced once and consuming half-pint of oil per hour on average. The ad also mentions endorsements from both the de Havilland Aircraft Co. , Ltd. , who recommend Castrol XXL in summer, Castrol XL in winter, and for racing purposes as well. At the bottom left corner, there's a reference to an Aero Exhibition Stand number 71 where presumably more information could be found or discussed at that time. The company behind this product is C. C. Wakefield & Co. , Ltd. , located at Wakefield House, Cheapside, London.
