VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage advertisement for Castrol Motor Oil, highlighting their association with aviation achievements. The ad is titled "The Motor Glider Competitions" and lists several awards won by aviators using Castrol oil: 1. Daily Mail and Duke of Sutherland's Prize for Longest Flight on a gallon of fuel: Mr. J. H. James (Deacon) – A. N. E. C. Monoplane, Blackburne Engine, 578 miles. 2. Abdulla Prize for Speed: Capt. Norman Macmillan – Parnall Pixie Monoplane, 76. 1 mph. 3. Reliability (Distance): Mr. Bert Hinkler – Avro Monoplane, 1, 000 miles. 4. Sir Charles Wakefield’s Prize for Greatest Altitude: Mr Maurice Piercy – A. N. E. C Monoplane, 14, 400 feet. Below the list of winners is the bold statement "ALL WON ON WAKEFIELD CASTROL MOTOR OIL, " emphasizing that all these records were achieved using their product. At the bottom of the ad are two additional statements promoting Castrol's legacy in aviation: - "EVERY BRITISH AIR RECORD SINCE 1909 HAS BEEN ACHIEVED ON WAKEFIELD CASTROL. " - The company details follow as "C. C. WAKEFIELD & CO. , LTD. , All British Firm. " along with an address in London and a description as specialists in lubrication. The advertisement features a strong contrast between text sizes to draw attention to key points such as competition names and achievements associated with Castrol motor oil usage in aviation milestones during that era.
