VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is an advertisement for the Westland Six-Seater Limousine aircraft, boasting its achievement of winning the first prize of £7, 500 in the British Aircraft Competition, 1920 (Small Class). The ad highlights that this accolade was awarded to the Westland Aircraft Works, a branch of Petters Limited located in Yeovil. Key selling points are listed under "FACTS FROM OFFICIAL RESULTS, " emphasizing the aircraft's top speed, range, economy—boasting low fuel cost per pound useful load—and reliability. It also mentions that it is fitted with a 450 B. H. P. Napier Lion Engine. The text at the bottom indicates confidence in their product by stating that "The result of the Competition is to stamp the WESTLAND LIMOUSINE with the hall-mark of excellence for Aerial Transport. " They invite inquiries and express readiness to grant licenses for manufacture abroad. Visually dominating above this text is an image of what appears to be a biplane with two open cockpits and additional enclosed cabin space indicative of its limousine designation—a likely reference to comfort and capacity rather than luxury features we associate with modern limousines.
