VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This image appears to be a vintage advertisement for Wakefield Castrol Motor Oil, featuring an early biplane with the registration G-EBWO. The top right section of the ad is titled "In Search of the Sun, " and it describes how two aviators, Mr. T. Neville Stack and Mr. Bernard A. Leete, embarked on a flight from Lancashire Aeroclub in their D. H. Moth light airplanes on November 15th, aiming to set a long-distance record for light airplanes if conditions were favorable. The text emphasizes that to ensure absolute reliability and maintenance of power output essential on duration flights, they are using Wakefield Castrol oil throughout their journey—a product touted as meeting every demand of modern high-efficiency aircraft engines. Below this narrative is another portion highlighting Wakefield CASTROL as "the one oil equal to every demand of the modern high-efficiency engine. " It positions itself as a specialized grade specifically suited for customers' needs and invites readers to request quotes. At the bottom right corner is the iconic Castrol logo with its trademarked name prominently displayed. Overall, this advertisement combines elements of adventure and technological endorsement by associating brave pilots embarking on daring flights with the reliability provided by using Castrol motor oil in their aircraft engines.
