As important as the 'air talk' for many readers; each issue contains fascinating advertisements which are so 'of the time'. Ads, for instance, from Northrop Corporation, Ultra Electronics, Rolls Royce, Handley Page, de Havilland, Eagle, Cigarette brands, Airfix, British Motor Cycle Manufacturers, National Provincial Bank, IBM, BEA, A.V.Roe, as well as Classified Ads.
