VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage advertisement for "The Safety Track" featuring Lorenz blind approach receivers, which were used to aid aircraft landings in poor visibility conditions such as thick fog. The ad highlights the success of these radio systems at Croydon airport and includes an endorsement from a special correspondent who witnessed the technology's effectiveness firsthand. The central image showcases the instrument panel with clear 'V' and 'H' indicators, suggesting its role in providing vertical and horizontal guidance to pilots during landing approaches. At the bottom, there are logos for Standard Radio & Smith's Aircraft Instruments, indicating they are sole distributors in Great Britain for this equipment. The overall design has an art deco influence typical of early 20th-century graphics, aiming to convey modernity and technological advancement within aviation safety.
