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
1. Title: "A Royal-Navy Hero in the Sky: Captain Eric Melrose Winkle Brown's Westland Wyvern TF-2 in Flight over the Sea" 2. Description: This photograph captures the moment when the fearless Royal-Navy test-pilot, Captain Eric Melrose Winkle Brown, CBE, DSC, AFC, RN, soars above the tranquil waters in his Westland Wyvern TF-2 during the 1950s. Born on January 21, 1919, Winkle Brown was an accomplished aviator who dedicated his career to the Royal Navy's Fleet Air Arm. In this image, we witness the grace and power of the Wyvern TF-2 as it cuts through the air, leaving a vapor trail in its wake. The aircraft's distinctive features are on full display, including its twin engines, large propellers, and the distinctive intake on the port side. The sea below shimmers in the sunlight, adding an element of serenity to the scene. 3. Background: The Westland Wyvern TF-2 was a British carrier-borne attack aircraft used extensively by the Royal Navy's Fleet Air Arm during the post-World War II era. Powered by two Rolls-Royce Dart Mk 3 engines, the Wyvern was capable of reaching speeds of over 350 miles per hour. Its versatility made it a valuable asset for the Royal Navy, as it could be used for various roles, including anti-ship strikes, reconnaissance, and even as a target tug. Winkle Brown was a pioneering test-pilot who made significant contributions to the development of the Wyvern and other aircraft. His daring exploits and achievements earned him numerous accolades, including the Distinguished Service Cross and the Air Force Cross. 4.
