VISUAL DESCRIPTION
Vintage Advertisement for Westland Aircraft This image showcases an old black-and-white advertisement for Westland aircraft, highlighting the company's expertise in designing and constructing superior airplanes. The ad features a prominent illustration of a biplane in flight, which is indicative of the era's aviation technology. Below the illustration, text emphasizes that "The world needs to maintain. . . the model over it is known for the super Aircraft designed and constructed by PETERS LIMITED. " This suggests that Peters Limited was associated with or possibly an alternative name for Westland. The caption "Westland Limousines for Business and Pleasure" implies that their aircraft were versatile enough to cater to both commercial and leisure activities. The body of the advertisement discusses how travel was once restricted to land and water but now includes air travel thanks to technological advancements in aviation. At the bottom, there are details about contacting Peters Limited at Westland Aircraft Works located in Yeovil, Somerset. It also provides telephone numbers (Yeovil 127) and telegrams ("Aircraft Yeovil") as methods of communication. Overall, this advertisement reflects early 20th-century marketing strategies aimed at promoting aviation as a modern mode of transportation suitable for various purposes.
