VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage advertisement for the Avro Shackleton, emphasizing its role in East African Seaboard Defence. The image features a map of Eastern Africa with arrows indicating strategic locations along the coast from Egypt to South Africa, highlighting the Indian Ocean. Above the map, there's an illustration of an Avro Shackleton aircraft in flight. Below the map is a photograph depicting what appears to be a coastal scene with waves crashing onto shore. The text reads "East African Seaboard Defence" and discusses how when considering defense strategies for British and French Territories, long-range land-based aircraft like the Avro Shackleton are indispensable. It mentions operations from Mombasa and other key points that allow these aircraft to sweep across areas from the Red Sea to South Africa, delivering offensive armament against enemy vessels. At the bottom of this black-and-white ad is bold text stating "Shackleton, " followed by information about its manufacturer: "A V ROE & CO LTD MANCHESTER - A member of the Hawker Siddeley Group. " This suggests that at the time of this advertisement's creation, Avro was part of a larger aerospace conglomerate known as Hawker Siddeley.
