VISUAL DESCRIPTION
The image is a vintage advertisement promoting KLG spark plugs, highlighting their role in British aviation achievements during the year 1932. The ad features an elegantly styled header that reads "Every British achievement in the air during 1932 obtained on K·L·G plugs. " Below this headline, a list of notable records and flights achieved with aircraft using these spark plugs is presented: - First 'light' aeroplane crossing of the Andes by C. W. A. Scott & Tom Campbell Black flying a Gipsy Moth engine Comper Swift at 18, 000 feet. - England to Cape Town record by Mollison flying a Gipsy II engined Puss Moth in 4½ days. - England to Australia record also by C. W. A. Scott flying a Gipsy III engined Moth in 8 days, 20 hours. - King's Cup Race won two years consecutively (the latest event being won by Mr. H. L. Brook) on R-type Gypsy Major engined Fox Moth. Additional accomplishments include an Atlantic flight from east to west by Mollison, world altitude records set using Vickers Vespa and other various victories too numerous to list here but all were achieved with planes equipped with KLG spark plugs. At the bottom of the advertisement is the slogan "all on K·L·G plugs, " emphasizing that all these feats were made possible through their product's reliability and performance. The footer includes information about where it was printed: "K. L. G Spark Plugs Ltd. , Putney Vale - London S. W. 15. " This ad serves as both historical documentation of aviation milestones for Britain in that era and as marketing material for KLG's technology within those achievements.
