VISUAL DESCRIPTION
The image is another period advertisement featuring a portrait of a pilot wearing flight goggles and helmet against a stark background. This ad commemorates a remarkable aviation achievement: completing a record flight to Australia in under nine days—a significant feat at the time when long-distance air travel was still in its infancy. The pilot depicted is celebrated for choosing Castrol XXL oil for his de Havilland Gipsy Moth aircraft during this historic journey. By associating itself with such groundbreaking accomplishments in aviation history, Castrol reinforces its reputation as an essential choice for pioneers pushing boundaries.
