VISUAL DESCRIPTION
The image captures a moment of triumph in aviation history—the King's Cup Air Race victory announcement featuring Alex Henshaw as the winner flying a Percival Mew Gull equipped with a Gipsy engine. This black-and-white advertisement celebrates speed (236 m.p.h.) and achievement while promoting Wakefield Patent Castrol motor oil as integral to this success story. The bold diagonal stripe cutting through clouds conveys motion and dynamism, symbolizing Henshaw’s swift ascent to victory against competitors in one of Britain's most prestigious air races.
