VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage advertisement featuring the Standard RAF Meteor IV, boasting its impressive speed of 617. 6 mph. The ad highlights an achievement where this aircraft, flown by Group Captain H. J. Wilson of the Royal Air Force's No. 43 Squadron from Tangmere Base, set a record between London and Edinburgh in both directions. It mentions that the flight took place on November 7th during a round trip from London (Bovingdon) to Edinburgh Turnhouse and back again in just 1 hour and 3 minutes at an average speed of 617. 6 mph. The bold text "Meteorite!" at the bottom signifies the model name of the aircraft, while "Gloster Again!" emphasizes Gloster Aircraft Company's repeated success in aviation milestones; they were a branch of Hawker Siddeley Aircraft Ltd at that time. The image shows an artistic depiction of the sleek jet flying amidst clouds with dynamic lines suggesting high velocity—a visual representation meant to convey power and technological advancement associated with both Gloster Aircraft Company and Britain's Royal Air Force during that era.
