VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This image appears to be a vintage advertisement for Castrol Motor Oil, celebrating a record-setting flight from Paris to Madagascar. The ad features various elements designed to look like telegrams and official communications, emphasizing the achievement of Messrs. Baillly, Regniersi and Marsonet left Le Bourget on October 30th, reaching Tananarive (now known as Antananarivo), Madagascar after covering a distance of 12, 460 kilometers in 8 days 5 hours, setting the previous record by 52 hours. The aircraft used was "The Gnome et Rhone Titan-Jupiter" engine of their Farman Monoplane which was lubricated with Wakefield Castrol oil. This product is highlighted as the performance enhancer that contributed to this successful long-distance flight. At the bottom right corner is an emblematic logo for Wakefield Castrol Motor Oil with the tagline "Wakefields, " implying quality and reliability associated with their brand. The overall design conveys a sense of historical significance and technological achievement linked directly to the use of Castrol's motor oil products.
