I feel so humbled and inspired by these early pilots especially the fortitude of the women in those times.

HMM.. What's Vita-Lick Ltd.?
"Vitalick was the original livestock supplement in Australia and has been assisting in livestock nutrition since the 1920." according to the current (2009) supplier, Rational Nutrition Pty. Ltd.
(ref. www.pdbower.com.au/vitalick.htm )

it's ridiculous how small that ad is.
this scene today would probably involve a sheep shaped plane. -

I'm going to guess this was a copy, and that one of the soldiers is a relation of the Mrs. Gough who ordered it.

The Gambia Regiment is a possibility, per wikipedia:
The parade uniform of the regiment consisted of khaki drill shorts with red fezzes, along with scarlet zouave-style jackets. The jacket style was inherited from the West India Regiment. The jackets had a yellow edging and red cummerbunds. In the field, the regiment originally wore a variation of the Kilmarnock cap, but just prior to World War II this changed to the slouch hat. Similarly, British officers attached to the regiment initially wore pith helmets, but they also later changed to the slouch hat. Although most uniforms in the RWAFF were similar, the special distinction of the Gambia Regiment was a khaki and brown puggree, and a brown cummerbund. -
