VISUAL DESCRIPTION
"India to England in 4½ Days - Record Flight on CASTROL" The image is a vintage advertisement or newspaper clipping celebrating a record-breaking flight from India to England completed in four and a half days. The text highlights that Captain C. D. Barnard landed at Croydon at 8:10 p. m. on Thursday, September 6th, after departing Karachi at dawn the previous Sunday. His aircraft, a Bristol "Jupiter"-engined Fokker monoplane named "Princess Xenia, " was lubricated with Wakefield CASTROL oil. Additionally, the ad mentions another fast previous flight between England and India made by Mr. Bert Hinkler in February aboard an Avro "Avian" also using Wakefield CASTROL oil. Below this announcement are details of the "AMATEUR T. T. " ROAD RACES held on the Isle of Man listing winners for Senior Race and Junior Race categories with brands like Norton and Sunbeam mentioned alongside race records. The bottom part of the image includes promotional content for Castrol recommending its use as exemplified by these record flights and races, along with contact information for C. C. Wakefield & Co. , Ltd. , based in London.
