FLIGHT ADVERTISEMENTS NOVEMBER 16, 1933 OVER TWO YEARS IN THE PERSIAN GULF PROTECTED BY CELLON The Short " Rangoon " illustrated above is one of five that were constructed for the R.A.F. for service in the Persian Gulf. The main plane spars, built from duralumin sheet and the ribs from duralumin tube, are covered with fabric doped with CELLON. The hull is protected externally with CERRIC Aluminium Lacquer made to the appropriate Air Ministry Specification and its interior is finished with Grey Green CERRlC Cellulose Lacquer. Wing tip floats are similarly treated as the hull. When it returned from abroad, having completed 3 years' service (including 734 flying hours in the Persian Gulf), this aircraft was thoroughly overhauled and .examined by Messrs. Short Bros. (Rochester & Bedford) Ltd., who report as follows :— " The fabric itself was still in good airworthy condition, the only criticism here being a few blisters on the identification disc. The hull, both inside and out, had not suffered from corrosion, the prottcting coatings all being well maintained, especially at points where local damage had occurred. The internal condition of the wings was highly satisfactory." CELLON THE DOPE OF PROVED EFFICIENCY Telephone : Kingston 6061 (5 lines) Cerric Lacquers comply with D.T.D. Specifications for metal parts, cockpits, propellers. Particulars on application. CELLON LTD., Richmond Road, KINGSTON-ON-THAMES (Contractors to H.M and Foreign Governments.)
