VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is an advertisement celebrating a new light aeroplane duration record set by Captain H. S. Broad, who flew a De Havilland Gipsy Moth for 24 hours continuously. The ad highlights that this achievement broke the world's duration record for light aeroplanes and mentions the use of Castrol oil, implying its role in the success of the flight due to its lubricating properties which kept the engine unharmed during the extended period aloft. The advertisement also references another aviation accomplishment—the recent world's altitude record of 21, 000 feet—achieved with the same machine and oil, further emphasizing Castrol's reliability. Below this celebratory announcement are details about an upcoming event: The R. A. C Tourist Trophy Race at Ulster on August 18th, 1928, listing Mr. Kaye Don as first place driving a Lea-Francis car and Mr. L. Cushman in second place with an Alvis car; it notes that both cars also used Castrol oil and achieved fastest time on all laps. At the bottom of the ad is information about where to obtain Castrol products: C. C Wakefield & Co. , Ltd. , located at Wakefield House in London.
