VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This image appears to be a vintage advertisement or newspaper clipping titled "British Flying-Boat Triumph, " celebrating the reliability and success of British flying boats, specifically highlighting their hulls and engines. The text boasts that after 27, 000 miles in all weathers, both the hulls and engines remained sound. It references an official log from the British Air Ministry about a flight section of flying boats which left England in October 1947 and flew over various climates without any forced landings due to aircraft or engine issues. The ad emphasizes this as a remarkable record considering the models—Supermarine Southamptons with metal hulls—and powered by Napier Lion engines of 450 h. p. each were only at two organized bases throughout their journey and never sheltered ashore from the time they left England until they were hauled up into seaplane sheds at Point Cook, Australia, in June of last year. At the bottom is an endorsement for Napier Engines with a tagline "NAPIER ENGINES WILL GIVE YOU THIS CONSISTENT RELIABILITY" followed by "NAPIER - The finest aero engine in the World. " Below this statement is information about the manufacturer: D. NAPIER & SON LTD. , ACTON • LONDON, W. 3. The overall design features decorative borders typical of early-to-mid-20th-century print advertisements.
