17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 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 17x15 inches (431x381mm). 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.

Powerful Guardians of the Skies - RAF Tornado GR4 Aircraft in Action
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, we witness the indomitable spirit of Royal Air Force's Tornado GR4 aircraft stationed at Kandahar Airfield during Operation Moshtarak in Afghanistan. As the sun casts a golden hue over the airfield, a mighty GR4 Tornado patiently awaits permission to take off, ready to embark on another crucial mission. These remarkable aircraft from 904 Expeditionary Air Wing played an indispensable role in ISAF Operation MOSHTARAK. With unwavering dedication and precision, they provided vital close air support for ground troops while also offering invaluable imagery for battle commanders to identify potential Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs). In this hostile environment where danger lurks at every corner, these jets became lifelines for those fighting on the frontlines. The image captures not just their physical strength but also their symbolic significance as defenders of freedom and protectors of peace. The heat and haze surrounding them serve as reminders of the challenging conditions they face daily. Yet, undeterred by adversity, these brave men and women continue to soar through Afghan skies with unwavering determination. This photograph is a testament to the professionalism and commitment exhibited by our armed forces personnel like Corporal Dave Blackburn who captured this momentous scene. It serves as a poignant reminder that behind every successful operation lies countless hours of training, sacrifice, and unwavering resolve.
