VISUAL DESCRIPTION
The image shows a black and white advertisement or informational notice for "The Goldfish Club. " The top half of the image depicts several aviators, possibly from World War II, sitting on inflatable rafts in open water. They are likely pilots who have had to eject from their aircraft and use emergency dinghies to survive at sea. Below this scene is text that reads: "R. A. F. and Allied airmen who have escaped from their distressed aircraft over the sea, and used an Emergency Dinghy are invited to become life members of the Goldfish Club. " It goes on to explain that all members receive an illustrated membership card and badge as tokens of appreciation for their gallant conduct. A bar to the original badge is given for using an Emergency Dinghy a second time, with additional honors possible under certain conditions. Further details about applying for membership are provided, including where applications should be sent. The address listed is Charles A. Robertson Esq. , Secretary Beehive Works, Honeycroft Lane, Stanmore Middlesex. At the bottom center of the image is a logo featuring stylized wings with a fish body – representing both air service (wings) and survival at sea (fish). Accompanying this logo is the motto of The Goldfish Club: "Gold for the value of life — Fish for the Sea. " This club was established during World War II as an informal association recognizing those whose lives were saved by emergency water landings and subsequent use of inflatable dinghies or similar equipment.
