VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage advertisement for Castrol Motor Oil, highlighting the success of various aviators in motor glider competitions who used their product. The ad lists several achievements: 1. The Daily Mail and Duke of Sutherland's prize for the longest flight on a gallon of fuel was awarded to Mr. J. H. James (dead heat)—flying an A. N. E. C Monoplane with a Blackburne Engine—for covering 87½ miles. 2. Captain Norman Macmillan won the Abdulla Prize for Speed in his Parnall Pixie Monoplane, reaching 76. 1 mph. 3. Mr. Bert Hinkler secured the Reliability (Distance) prize by flying an Avro Monoplane over 1, 000 miles. 4. Mr. Maurice Piercy achieved the greatest altitude—14, 400 feet—in another A. N. E. C Monoplane and won Sir Charles Wakefield's Prize for this feat. The ad emphasizes that all these records were accomplished using Wakefield Castrol Motor Oil and boasts that every British air record since 1909 has been made with aircraft engines lubricated by Castrol oil. At the bottom, it features branding elements such as "WAKEFIELD" prominently displayed along with their logo at that time—a stylized representation of 'Castrol'—and provides contact information: C. C. Wakefield & Co. , Ltd. , Specialists in Lubrication at Wakefield House, Cheapside, London E. C. 2.
