VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage advertisement for the Bristol Aeroplane Company featuring the Handley-Page Hastings military transport aircraft. The image shows a large, propeller-driven airplane with four engines, likely taken during its arrival at Sydney as part of a demonstration tour of Australia. Below the plane, several people can be seen standing and walking around, giving a sense of scale to the size of the aircraft. The text accompanying the image highlights that this particular model is powered by Hercules engines and boasts an impressive flying time: "11, 000 miles in 49 hours. " This suggests that it was designed for long-range flights and could be used effectively for transportation across vast distances without needing frequent stops to refuel. The map at the bottom traces out what appears to be a flight route from England to Sydney via various cities including Teheran (now commonly spelled Tehran), Karachi, Negombo (in Sri Lanka), Singapore, and Darwin before reaching Sydney. This emphasizes its capability for intercontinental travel. Overall, this advertisement aims to promote both the reliability and efficiency of their Hastings aircraft powered by Hercules engines while also emphasizing their global reach in terms of aviation technology during that era.
