Atmospheric Clouds Hercules Silhouette Parachute Parachutist Submariners
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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a breathtaking moment as Submariners from the Fort Blockhouse Submarine Escape Training Tank (SETT) bravely dive from the sky. Parachuting 800 feet from a Hercules C130 into the sea at Lee-on-Solent, Hampshire, these courageous individuals demonstrate their unwavering commitment to their training and readiness for any situation. As part of Exercise Leesplash, two Medium Inflatable Boats and their 19 crew members also joined in this daring endeavor. The iconic silhouette of the Hercules C130 against the backdrop of clouds adds an atmospheric touch to this awe-inspiring scene. On the 8th of May, during lunchtime, crowds gathered on Lee-on-Solent beach to witness this remarkable display. Spectators were captivated by both the bravery of these submariners and the impressive capabilities of RAF Lyneham's Hercules C130 aircraft. This powerful image serves as a reminder of the dedication and skill possessed by our armed forces personnel. It showcases not only their ability to operate in extreme conditions but also highlights their unity and teamwork. Photographed by LA (Phot) Shaun Preston, this stunning print encapsulates a moment that symbolizes courage, determination, and professionalism within our armed forces community.
