VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This vintage advertisement from the early 20th century celebrates a series of aviation records set at Hendon by an AVRO biplane, boasting an impressive 80 horsepower engine. The ad references a report from "The Daily Telegraph" dated November 17, 1913, which highlights the spectators' admiration for the aircraft's performance and design quality. It underscores two specific achievements: completing one lap in just over a minute and six laps in under eight minutes—a testament to the era's technological advancements in aviation. A.V. Roe & Co., Ltd., known as AVRO, positions itself as not only innovators but also key contractors to government bodies such as the Admiralty and War Office.
