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
In this historic photograph, the Vickers Type 660 Valiant prototype, registration WB210, makes its impressive landing at the 1951 Farnborough Airshow in England. The Royal Air Force (RAF) jet-powered bomber, also known as the V bomber, was a strategic aircraft designed to carry nuclear weapons and was a significant addition to the UK's post-World War II military arsenal. The Valiant was a four-engined jet, which was a departure from the piston-engine bombers that were prevalent during the war. Its sleek design and advanced technology were a sight to behold, drawing a large crowd of media photographers eager to capture the moment. George Edwards, a renowned aviation photographer, was among those present to document the event. The Valiant's arrival at Farnborough marked a new era in aviation, as jet-powered bombers began to replace the piston-engine aircraft that had dominated the skies during the war. The Valiant was the first of the V bomber fleet, which also included the Vickers Vulcan and the Avro Vulcan and Victor. These aircraft were instrumental in the UK's strategic nuclear deterrence capabilities throughout the Cold War. The Farnborough Airshow, held annually since 1948, is an internationally renowned event that showcases the latest advancements in aviation technology. The 1951 show was particularly significant as it marked the beginning of the jet age in the UK's military aviation history. This photograph captures a pivotal moment in aviation history, with the Vickers Type 660 Valiant prototype making its landing at the Farnborough Airshow in 1951, marking the arrival of the jet age in the UK's military aviation.
