VISUAL DESCRIPTION
The image is a vintage advertisement featuring the text "ENGLAND AUSTRALIA RECORD BROKEN AGAIN ON WAKEFIELD CASTROL XXL. " The ad celebrates an aviation record set between England and Australia, emphasizing that the record was broken using Castrol XXL oil. Below the bold headline, there's an illustration of a biplane, indicative of the era when such records were a significant achievement in aviation history. A portrait of aviator C. W. A. Scott is included within the ad, acknowledging his role in breaking this flight record with his aircraft lubricated by Castrol oil. The text below his portrait reads: "C. W. A. Scott for his record-breaking flight lubricated the GIPSY engine of his D. H. GIPSY MOTH 'AINSLIE' throughout with Wakefield Castrol Oil and at Port Darwin - Relanding pleased to praise its excellently functioning under most exacting conditions. " At the bottom right corner, it states that Wakefield Castrol XXL comes as recommended by Messrs De Havilland Aircraft Co Ltd. , adding further endorsement from a reputable aircraft manufacturer. Finally, at the very bottom left corner is information about C. C. Wakefield & Co. , LTD. , including their location at Wakefield House, Cheapside London EC2—indicating where interested customers could find or contact them for more information or product purchase. This advertisement not only promotes a product but also captures a moment in history when aviation milestones were widely celebrated and advancements in technology were closely linked to specific brands like Castrol.
