VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage advertisement for Castrol Motor Oil, featuring the results of "The Aerial Derby Handicap" that took place on August 6th. The ad highlights the success of two pilots: 1st place went to Capt. H. A. Hamersley, flying an Avro "Viper" with a 200 horsepower Wolseley Viper engine; and in 2nd place was Mr. H. H. Perry, piloting a D. H. 9 with a 350 horsepower Rolls-Royce Eagle VIII engine. The advertisement emphasizes that both winning aircraft used Castrol oil, suggesting its reliability and performance benefits for aviation purposes. It also mentions other successes achieved using Castrol oil such as victories in the King's Cup (both years of competition in 1922 and 1923), Schneider Cup (1922), trans-America and back flights, Australia-England flights, Atlantic crossings from Cairo to Cape Town, etc. , establishing Castrol's reputation since its record since inception in 1909. At the bottom of the ad is information about C. C Wakefield & Co. , Ltd. , which is presented as specialists in lubrication with their address at Wakefield House, Cheapside, London E. C. The overall design of this advertisement reflects early twentieth-century styles with simple typography and layout focused on conveying information straightforwardly without any accompanying images or illustrations beyond logos and decorative borders.
