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
This photograph, dated 1969, captures the majestic presence of two iconic British V-bombers, the Handley Page HP-80 Victor SR-2 and the Avro Vulcan, parked side by side at Upper Heyford Air Base in England. The Royal Air Force (RAF) base, located in Oxfordshire, was a significant site for the storage and maintenance of the RAF's V-bomber fleet during the Cold War era. The Handley Page HP-80 Victor SR-2, registration XL165, is seen on the left side of the image. The Victor was a versatile long-range strategic bomber, capable of carrying both conventional and nuclear weapons. With a wingspan of 114 feet and a length of 102 feet, the Victor was a formidable presence in the skies. The SR-2 variant, seen here, was the maritime reconnaissance version of the Victor, equipped with advanced radar and sensor systems for maritime patrol and anti-submarine warfare. On the right side of the photograph is the Avro Vulcan, registration XH534. The Vulcan was another iconic British V-bomber, known for its distinctive delta wing design. With a maximum speed of over 500 miles per hour and a range of over 2,000 miles, the Vulcan was a formidable long-range bomber that saw action during the Falklands War. The photograph also shows evidence of aerial refueling, with a tanker aircraft visible in the background. This was a common sight at Upper Heyford during the Cold War era, as the V-bombers required extensive range to reach their targets and return safely. The image captures a moment in time when these magnificent machines were at the forefront of military aviation technology, standing ready to defend the United Kingdom and its allies.
