VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This vintage advertisement from the Civil Aviation Season of 1921 heralds a significant moment in British aviation history. With a substantial government subsidy of £60,000, Handley Page Ltd., acting as managing agents for the Aircraft Disposal Company Limited, aimed to bolster British civil aviation following World War I. The ad invites pilots and entrepreneurs to take advantage of low prices and deferred payment terms on surplus aircraft ideal for joy-rides, exhibition flying, or establishing transport services—reflecting an era when commercial flight was still in its infancy and military planes were repurposed for civilian use.
