VISUAL DESCRIPTION
The image shows a vintage advertisement or informational notice detailing the successful completion of "The Portuguese Flight to Africa, " which was carried out using Wakefield Castrol oil. The text mentions that Captains Pais Ramos and Oliviera Viges, accompanied by Lieutenant Joso Esteves and Sergeant-Mechanic Manuel Antonio, departed from Lisbon on September 5th in two Vickers "Valparaiso" airplanes equipped with Napier "Lion" engines. They arrived at Lourenço Marques (now Maputo) on October 26th after covering over 9, 500 miles in 26 flying days without any mishaps. The notice highlights the durability and reliability of both the aircraft and engines, which had been in service for several years with the Portuguese Air Force. It emphasizes that despite challenges along the route and having only one mechanic, the success of this flight is a testament to everyone involved. The bottom portion of the image features branding for Castrol Motor Oil with its logo and tagline suggesting it's a grade of motor oil for every engine lubrication problem. Additionally, there are references to Wakefield & Co. , Ltd. , as well as their address in London. The crest at the top right corner suggests some form of official endorsement or patronage related to this historic aviation event.
