VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage advertisement for G. Q. Parachutes, emphasizing their use by high-speed airmen who insist on the brand's reliability and quality. The ad features an illustration of an early biplane in flight at the top, with bold text stating "early pioneers would have chosen G. Q. PARACHUTES. " Below this headline, additional text reinforces the trust placed in these parachutes by experienced pilots. The central part of the image showcases a mannequin dressed in pilot gear from that era, equipped with a parachute harness and pack clearly labeled as "Back Type Parachute Mk3, " including details such as its serial number (No. 1438) and date of manufacture (May 1936). This suggests that the product adheres to specific standards required for aviation safety equipment. At the bottom, there's branding for "G. Q. PARACHUTES" along with their slogan "Leaders in the Development of Parachute Design. " The company address is given as The G. Q. Parachute Co. , Ltd. , Woking, Surrey, England—indicating where they were based at the time. Overall, this advertisement aims to convey a sense of historical prestige and assurance in safety for aviators choosing G. Q. Parachutes during what appears to be an earlier period of aviation history.
