VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage advertisement for Westland Aircraft, emphasizing "Safety, Speed & Comfort in WESTLAND MACHINES. " The ad features images of two aircraft: 1. The Westland Bomber and 2. The Westland Widgeon. The text highlights the company's experience in designing and building aircraft, boasting about their standards for safety, speed, and comfort control. It mentions that their designs range from private single-seaters to large twin-engine bombing machines. The advertisement also promotes the ease of flying these planes due to being light and high-performance machines suitable for both novice pilots or heavyweight passengers. It references specific models such as the Widgeon II, which can be easily handled by amateur aviators while still achieving speeds up to 105 m. p. h. , as demonstrated at the Grosvenor Cup Race. Furthermore, it notes that numerous Westland machines are used by the Royal Air Force both at home and abroad. There's mention of a testing ground on site at Yeovil dedicated to ensuring enhanced aerodynamics supported by scientific principles for all types of workloads. Lastly, it concludes with "WESTLAND AIRCRAFT FOR BUSINESS OR PLEASURE, " followed by "WESTLAND AIRCRAFT WORKS YEOVIL (Branch of Petters Limited) ENGLAND, " indicating its location and association with Petters Limited.
