VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage advertisement for Vickers Limited, celebrating the long-distance flights accomplished in 1919 and 1920 by British aircraft with British engines. The ad highlights these achievements as unsurpassed amongst the historic milestones of aviation. Specifically mentioned are the "Vickers 'Vimy' aircraft with Rolls-Royce 'Eagle' engines. " The advertisement features black-and-white photographs of significant moments: 1. The top left photo shows "the Vickers Vimy Aircraft on the Atlantic Flight, June 14-15th, 1919, " which was piloted by John Alcock and Arthur Brown—the first non-stop transatlantic flight. 2. Below that is an image captioned "the first aeroplane to fly from England to Australia November-December, 1919. " This commemorates another pioneering journey made by a Vickers Vimy. 3. On the right side at the top is an image depicting "the first and only Aeroplane to fly direct from Britain to Australia" dated November 12th-13th, 1919. 4. Directly beneath it is a photograph showing "the First Aeroplane to fly from England to South Africa February-March, 1920. " At the bottom of the ad are details for contacting Vickers Limited at their address in London along with telephone numbers for further inquiries about their products or services.
