VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage advertisement for Blackburn Aircraft, featuring the Blackburn 'Ripon' torpedo plane. The image shows the biplane on the ground with its propeller facing towards the camera and its large wings extending out to either side. A man in a suit stands under one of the wings, giving scale to the aircraft's size. The text above describes an impressive demonstration where this coastal defense bomber and reconnaissance machine dropped a heavy torpedo into the sky and then performed remarkably small circles while flying, showcasing good control even when stalled. The caption at the bottom reads: "Flight" photograph, May 21, 1931, " indicating that this photo was published in Flight magazine on that date. Additional information includes reference numbers (G. A. D. ) and notes about copyright by Spooner & Co. , Artillery House, London S. W. I. , suggesting it was produced for promotional purposes during that era. The overall tone of this advertisement emphasizes reliability and performance capabilities of Blackburn Aircraft's Ripon model during flight demonstrations which were critical selling points for military aircraft in that period.
