VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage advertisement for the Light 'Planes Meeting held at Hendon on October 27th, featuring results from handicap and speed contests. The ad highlights that 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places in both events were won by aircraft using Wakefield Motor Oil. It also boasts that every British Air Record since 1909 has been made with Castrol oil. The graphic includes an illustration of a biplane in flight with "Castrol" prominently displayed on its side. Below the event details is an endorsement for C. G. Wakefield & Co. , Ltd. , presenting themselves as specialists in lubrication and an all-British firm located at Wakefield House, Cheapside, London, E. C. 2. The text lists winners of the races: Handicap Race: - 1st: Captain H. S. Broad - 2nd: Mr. E. J. H James (Blackburne) - 3rd: F/O H. A Hampson Speed Contest: - 1st: Captain N Macmillan - 2nd: Norman W Jones (Parnall-Pixie) - Mr. E. C. T Edwards (Blackburne) - Dr. J. S Napier The advertisement reflects early aviation enthusiasm and promotes national pride through technological achievements associated with British-made products like Castrol motor oil during the early days of competitive air racing.
