Aerodrome Afternoon Avian Avro Immediately Lancs Mono Plane Representative Typical Westland Widgeon
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
An Afternoon at Home at a Modern Flying Club: A Scene of British Light Aviation in July 1930 This evocative photograph captures the essence of a quintessential British flying club scene on a sunny afternoon in July 1930. The image showcases a variety of representative types of British light aeroplanes gracefully soaring over a typical modern aerodrome. On the left, we see two Desoutter aircraft, one in orange and black, the colours of the National Flying Services, and the other in its original green and white livery. Immediately above the Desoutters, a Westland Widgeon monoplane flies, its green body glinting in the sunlight. The Widgeon is flying just above an Avro Avian from the Lancs Aero Club, its distinctive shape easily identifiable against the clear blue sky. Slightly above and to the right, a Blackburn Bluebird from the Yorks Aero Club can be seen flying beneath a Desoutter Sports Coupe. The Bluebird's sleek design and distinctive blue and white colours add a touch of elegance to the scene. At the top right of the photograph, a green and white biplane catches the eye - a Coupe Moth, adding a classic touch to the modern scene. Below the Coupe Moth, a yellow Gipsy Moth from the London Aeroplane Club and a blue and white Comber Swift can be seen flying in formation, completing this charming snapshot of a day at the flying club.
