VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This image is a vintage advertisement for Castrol Motor Oil, featuring the headline "Two Record Flights. " The ad celebrates two aviation milestones: a flight around Australia completed in 90 hours and Captain d'Oisy's flight to Japan. Both feats are attributed to the use of Wakefield Castrol motor oil. The left side of the ad showcases a can of Wakefield Castrol Motor Oil with its distinctive branding. On the right, there's an illustration of part of the globe highlighting Australia and parts of East Asia, emphasizing the routes taken during these record flights. Below this map are details about each journey—the first being accomplished by two officers from the Royal Australian Air Force flying a seaplane type 3D fitted with Rolls-Royce Eagle VIII engines using Wakefield Castrol oil throughout their trip. The second paragraph describes Captain d'Oisy's satisfaction with Castrol oil after his own successful long-distance flight. At the bottom right corner, there’s additional information about C. C. Wakefield & Co. , Ltd. , identifying it as an all-British firm specializing in motor lubrication located at Wakefield House, Cheapside, London. There is also an invitation to visit them at British Industries Fair locations specified by dates and venues. Overall, this advertisement emphasizes reliability and performance associated with using Castrol Motor Oil through testimonials from significant achievements in early aviation history.
