VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage advertisement for the "Gloster" aircraft, specifically highlighting the Gloucestershire Aircraft Co. Ltd. The ad boasts of their locations at Sunningend Works in Cheltenham and Brockworth Works and Aerodrome in Glos. , as well as their London office on Rathbone Place, Oxford Street. It emphasizes that they are designers and makers of all types of aircraft for both British and foreign governments. The main feature of this advertisement is an image showing a Gloster "Grebe" fighter plane in flight, with text underneath describing it as "Britain's finest fighting scout. " The caption under the photo reads: "A GLOSTER 'GREBE' HARASSING THE MEXICAN CAVALRY IN THE RECENT ARMY MANOEUVRES. " At the bottom, there's a statement reinforcing that all Gloster types can be supplied in either wood or metal to meet various requirements. This ad likely dates back to the early 20th century when military aviation was rapidly developing after World War I and during interwar periods.
