VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This vintage advertisement celebrates the remarkable achievement of the "Caledonia," an Imperial Airways Empire flying boat, which traversed the distance between Newfoundland and Ireland in just over 12 hours. The journey covered a span of 1960 miles at an average speed of 162 miles per hour, showcasing the capabilities of this aircraft during an era when long-distance air travel was still in its infancy. The ad highlights that this particular flight was on her return trip from New York to Southampton, emphasizing international connectivity. Moreover, it proudly notes that the "Caledonia" was designed and built by Short Brothers Ltd., based in Rochester—a testament to British engineering prowess.
