VISUAL DESCRIPTION
The image is a vintage advertisement for Palmer tyres, wheels, brakes, and Silvoflex. It highlights the 40, 000 miles world tour in 1950 with the Handley Page Marathon aircraft. The text details that on January 14th, 1950, from Blackbushe Aerodrome, this first production-type Handley Page Marathon Aircraft (G-ALUB) set off for a strenuous flight test to Cairo. The journey took them over 40, 000 miles across various geographical regions. The ad emphasizes the reliability of Palmer equipment used on the Marathon during its extensive and demanding expedition. Components such as main wheels, tyres and brake assemblies are noted for their performance throughout different conditions including extreme cold at high altitudes and excessive heat during landings at tropical airstrips. At the bottom right corner of the ad is "THE PALMER TYRE LIMITED" followed by an address located in London. The overall message conveys confidence in Palmer products' durability and suitability for challenging aviation tasks. Visually dominating the top half of the advertisement is an illustration depicting a Handley Page Marathon aircraft mid-flight with clouds in the background to emphasize its airborne capabilities. Below it is a map outlining parts of Europe and Africa suggesting part of its route along with some technical drawings related to tyre cross-sections or wheel assembly designs associated with Palmer's products.
