VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage advertisement for the London Aerodrome, promoting flying at Hendon with various events and offerings. The ad announces races on Saturdays under Royal Aero Club rules starting at 3:30 p. m. , weather permitting. It also mentions special exhibition and passenger flights available every Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday afternoon and evening with well-known aviators. The location of the aerodrome is described as being easily reachable by tube, bus, tram or train from Marble Arch, and admission fees are listed for enclosures and paddocks. There's a special note that children under 10 years get half-price admission. Additionally, the advertisement highlights the Grahame-White School of Flying where one can learn to fly until they obtain a pilot's certificate for £75. They claim to make good all breakages not involving pupils against third-party claims up to £1000 without additional payment post-solo cross-country flight. Special reduced terms are offered to Naval and Military pupils. Contact details are provided for entry forms and particulars from The Grahame-White Aviation Co. , Ltd. , which is identified as the proprietor of The London Aerodrome in Hendon N. W. On the right side of the ad stands an illustration of a man dressed in early aviation gear including goggles and a full-body flight suit or coat looking toward his left with what appears to be an airfield in silhouette behind him. At the bottom right corner there’s information about upcoming events such as Special Speed Handicap on August 24th at 3:30 p. m. , Atalanta-Knights Saturday League on August 31st at 3:30 p. m. , followed by details about an August meeting featuring Grand Stand enclosure fees along with notes about competitions for prizes valued altogether over £400.
