VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage advertisement for ADC Limited, which stands for Aircraft Disposal Company Limited. The ad proclaims the company as "THE WORLD'S AIRCRAFT SUPPLIERS" and states that they have supplied British aircraft to the British Colonies including Australia, Canada, India, South Africa, New Zealand and many other countries across Europe, Asia, and South America. The advertisement lists an extensive array of nations showcasing their global reach. The ad features images of two different types of biplanes from the era when such aircraft were common in military and civilian use. It also includes contact information with an address at Regent House, Kingsway in London along with a telephone number (REGENT 6260) and cable address ("AIRDISCO LONDON"). This suggests that the ad likely dates back to the early-to-mid 20th century when telegrams were still widely used for communication over long distances. The overall design reflects the graphic style typical of its time period with bold text emphasizing key points about ADC's market position as a major supplier in aviation post-World War I or possibly after World War II during times when surplus military aircraft would be sold off or repurposed for civilian use.
