VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage advertisement featuring the de Havilland DH. 88 Comet, an iconic British racing aircraft from the 1930s. The caption at the top reads "ENGLAND TO AUSTRALIA IN 2 DAYS 23 HOURS, " highlighting the aircraft's capability for long-distance travel in a remarkably short time during that era. Below the image of the sleek, twin-engine monoplane, it states "D. H. "COMET", " indicating its model name. The lower portion of the ad promotes "ELEKTRON CASTINGS" and notes that these castings are incorporated in the engines, airframe, and landing wheels of the successful de Havilland "COMET. " It then attributes these components to STERLING METALS LTD. , based in COVENTRY. This suggests that Sterling Metals Ltd was involved in manufacturing parts for this groundbreaking aircraft using their Elektron casting process. Overall, this advertisement not only markets a specific product (Elektron castings) but also celebrates British aviation achievements and technological advancements of its time.
