VISUAL DESCRIPTION
The image is a vintage advertisement featuring an illustration of a pilot in an open cockpit aircraft, wearing a flight helmet and goggles. The pilot appears to be looking off into the distance with a thoughtful expression, and there's a question mark symbol above his head, indicating contemplation or curiosity. The text accompanying the illustration reads: "STRAIGHT TALKS TO PILOTS BY CAPTAIN CIRRUS No. 5. " Below this header is a quote attributed to Captain Cirrus saying, "Cirrus have had a wonderful year. . . " which suggests that the following text will list achievements related to Cirrus. Below the quote are listed several racing achievements presumably accomplished using Cirrus engines: 1) KING'S CUP RACE - listing first and second place finishes. 2) S. B. A. C. CHALLENGE TROPHY - again noting first and second place results. 3) "EVENING WORLD" TROPHY - detailing London to Newcastle Air Race placements. 4) YORKSHIRE CUP - mentioning first, second, third places in another race. The ad emphasizes these accomplishments as evidence of the reliability and success of Hermes engines produced by Cirrus-Hermes Engineering Company Ltd. , based in Croydon Aerodrome, Surrey. It concludes with another statement from Captain Cirrus reinforcing trust in Cirrus-Hermes products for safety. At the bottom of the advertisement is bold text stating "CIRRUS-HERMES, " likely representing both brand names under one umbrella company focused on aviation engineering excellence during that era. The slogan at very bottom states "Cirrus for Safety!" highlighting their commitment to reliable aviation technology.
