VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This vintage advertisement celebrates a successful flight by the Royal Air Force's No. 47 Bomber Squadron, powered by Napier Lion engines. Dated November 28, 1932, it highlights the squadron's journey from Khartoum to Bathurst in Gambia and back without any mishaps—a testament to the reliability of Napier engines during an era when long-distance air travel was still a remarkable feat. The ad proudly notes that on this particular mission, the aircraft flew a total of 28,000 engine miles with Napier powerplants—proclaimed as "the finest aero engine in the world" by D. Napier & Son Ltd.
