VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage advertisement for Vickers (Aviation) Limited, showcasing their aviation achievement. The ad features a map of the western coast of Africa with a flight path marked from Lisbon to Lourenço Marques (now Maputo, Mozambique). A caption below the map states that this flight covered a total distance of 10, 614 kilometers and was completed in 1924 by pilots Captain Pais Ramos, Captain Oliveira Viega, Ten. -C. Esteves and Mec. António in two Vickers "Vimy" & "Valkyrie" Military-type Landplanes. The image within the advertisement shows one of these aircraft mid-flight, emphasizing the company's contribution to early long-distance aviation. The text also notes that these machines were supplied by Vickers Limited to the Portuguese Government since they have been in constant service. At the bottom of the ad are details for Vickers House on Broadway in London as well as their factory location at Weybridge Surrey—indicating where inquiries could be directed or further information about their aircraft could be obtained.
