VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is an image of a vintage advertisement for Airwork Limited, located at Heston Airport, Hounslow. The ad features a block of text that begins with a quote from the White Queen in Lewis Carroll's "Through the Looking-Glass, " discussing the concept of time. It then references Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World" and H. G. Wells' ideas about Utopias, suggesting that while it might be exciting to think about living in the future, one should consider staying present. The advertisement goes on to describe contemporary advancements such as steel and glass buildings, television, artificial sunlight, super roads, and radio broadcasting by John Reith (the first Director-General of the BBC). It positions London as undergoing modernization with these new technologies. Finally, it invites readers to visit their aerodrome at Heston Airport which has been planned by men with modern minds—an airport described as not merely up-to-date but always ahead of its time. Services for hire—night flying customs—cereals—maps—a Restaurant—and Hotel are mentioned as available amenities. The bottom part emphasizes AIRWORK LIMITED in bold letters along with contact information including location (Heston Airport) and telephone number (Hounslow 4320).
