23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Mark Owen, we witness a historic moment as the Army's new AH64D Apache Longbow helicopters bid farewell to Scotland. The image showcases three of these powerful aircraft departing from RAF Leuchars, marking the end of an extensive joint Army/RAF night flying exercise codenamed TLT/NITEX. The exercise itself was nothing short of extraordinary, involving an impressive lineup of 14 different types of rotary and fixed-wing aircraft. These aviation marvels traversed the vast landscapes of Scotland and ventured into the northern regions of England during their mission that spanned from 18th February to 1st March in 2002. As our eyes are drawn to the AH64D Apaches in flight, we cannot help but admire their sleek design and formidable presence. Equipped with rockets, pods, and other advanced weaponry systems, these helicopters exemplify cutting-edge military technology at its finest. Their role as attack vehicles is undeniable; they stand ready to protect our forces on the ground with unwavering precision. This photograph serves as a tribute not only to the skilled pilots who maneuvered these magnificent machines but also to all those involved in maintaining and supporting them. It captures a fleeting moment when power meets grace against a backdrop that symbolizes unity between two branches of armed forces – a true testament to strength through collaboration.
