VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage advertisement for the "Gloster" aircraft, produced by The Gloucestershire Aircraft Co. Ltd. , based in Sunningend Works, Cheltenham. The ad boasts of Gloster's achievements and capabilities as designers and constructors of various types of aircraft for both British and foreign governments. At the top left and right corners are images of trophies labeled "Aerial Derby Cup 1921" and "Aerial Derby Cup 1922, " signifying victories in those years' aerial derbies. Below these cups, on either side, are listed accolades such as winners of the Aerial Derby from 1921 to 1923 with speeds up to 128. 4 m. p. h. , holders of the British speed record at 212. 2 m. p. h. , and a record climb of 19, 500 ft in just over eleven minutes. The central portion features an aerial photograph captioned "A Squadron Of 'Grebes' In Flight. " This image shows multiple aircraft flying in formation—an impressive display demonstrating their air power. Below this photo is additional text highlighting that thirty "Grebes" took part in a mass formation flight over London while sixteen "Grebes" participated in an R. A. F (Royal Air Force) display at Hendon—a location known for its historical association with aviation. Lastly, there's information about their London office address at Buckingham Palace Road, suggesting that they were well-established within close proximity to significant centers of commerce and government during that era.
