VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This vintage advertisement celebrates the remarkable achievement of Wing Commander Kingsford Smith, who piloted an aircraft powered by a de Havilland Gipsy II engine on a historic flight. The journey spanned a staggering 10,360 miles from England to Australia, setting a record for its time. It took just under ten days—9 days and 22 hours to be precise—to complete this monumental trip. This feat not only showcased the reliability and performance of the Gipsy II engine but also marked an important milestone in aviation history, demonstrating the potential for long-distance air travel and connecting distant parts of the British Empire.
