VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage advertisement for Gatwick Airport, highlighting its convenience and proximity to the main-line station. The top portion of the ad features an image of a train on tracks with text overlay that reads "NO FARTHER THAN CROSSING TO THE TUBE. " Below this image, bold text announces "A main-line station on the Airport!" emphasizing how closely integrated the airport is with train services. The middle section outlines several selling points: - It describes Gatwick as "The Ideal Headquarters for the Private Owner Operator or Charter Airline. " - It mentions available facilities such as hangars for private aircraft, Customs arrangements, and servicing amenities. - There's also mention of spacious lock-ups available at annual rates of £25 and £30. To emphasize ease of access, it notes that reaching central London from Gatwick can be done in just 30 minutes via direct rail service. Additionally, it touts pleasant flying conditions due to being away from fog banks associated with other parts of England. At the bottom is a stylized illustration featuring an aerial view of Gatwick Airport along with its name and location: HORLEY, SURREY. Contact information includes a telephone number (Crawley 535) and credits AIRPORTS LTD. as responsible for the facility. Overall, this advertisement aims to promote Gatwick Airport as an ideal choice for both commercial aviation businesses and travelers seeking convenient transportation links between air travel and ground transit systems within England during what appears to be mid-20th century based on design elements indicative of that era's advertising style.
