VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This vintage advertisement celebrates the remarkable achievement of four Royal Air Force metal-hulled Supermarine "Southampton" flying boats, each powered by two Napier aero engines. The ad highlights an extended service cruise from England to Australia, covering a staggering 112,000 engine miles without any reported mishaps or trouble. It emphasizes the reliability and performance of Napier engines during this ambitious flight that had never been attempted before. The text suggests that such feats are possible due to the quality of standard engines taken directly from stock rather than specially tuned ones. By promoting these accomplishments, Napier positions itself as a provider of consistent reliability and high efficiency in aviation technology.
