VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This vintage advertisement celebrates a world record long-distance flight of 7,162 miles, subject to official confirmation. It highlights the role of The Bristol Pegasus XXII Engines equipped with HOBSON MASTER CONTROL CARBURETTERS and the Vickers Wellesley Aircraft fitted with HOBSON COCKPIT CONTROLS. These components were designed to provide automatic control of boost pressure and mixture strength from sea level to aircraft ceiling, relieving pilots from manually adjusting engine settings during flight. This technological advancement was a significant contribution to aviation at the time, showcasing how innovation in aircraft component design could enhance performance and reliability over extraordinary distances.
