VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage advertisement promoting "Every SUNDAY—DINNER and NIGHT FLIGHT" for the price of 30 shillings at Heston Airport. The ad highlights that night flying was first introduced by Airwork Ltd. in 1930, and since then experimental work has been carried out with Channel broaching machines in collaboration with Messrs. Chance, resulting in an approved method certified by the Air Ministry. A key feature of this method is the Fairey-Reich Chancellors Bat, a device which casts off rays of light from under the bow of the aircraft to guide pilots' eyes when landing or taking off. The ad emphasizes how under shadow conditions, night flying becomes even more delightful and challenging than ever, suggesting it's an experience no lover of flying should miss. It also mentions that Sunday evening offers quite excellent dinner and a flight for 30/-. At the bottom, there's additional information stating "AT HESTON AIRPORT, " indicating where these services can be availed. Moreover, it notes that Night Flights are available for “B” license holders as well. The design elements include bold typography emphasizing key offerings like "DINNER" and "NIGHT FLIGHT, " along with decorative stars scattered around to perhaps symbolize the nighttime sky or aviation theme.
