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
In this evocative photograph, the RAF Red Arrows team lines up their BAe Systems Hawks at RAF Binbrook in August 1982. The Red Arrows, the Royal Air Force's prestigious aerobatics team, are seen here preparing for another breathtaking display of aerial acrobatics. The team, formed in 1965, has been a mainstay of the British aviation scene for decades, and their red, white, and blue Hawks are a familiar sight at air shows and events across the country. The Hawk, manufactured by British Aerospace Systems (now BAE Systems), is a versatile jet trainer that has been used by the Royal Air Force and other military and civilian organizations around the world. In the hands of the Red Arrows, the Hawk becomes a thing of beauty and precision, as the team pushes the aircraft to its limits in complex formations and daring maneuvers. RAF Binbrook, located in Lincolnshire, England, was an important RAF base during the Cold War, and was home to various squadrons and units involved in air defense and fighter training. The base closed in 2001, but its history lives on through photographs like this one, which capture the spirit of a bygone era in military aviation. This photograph is a reminder of the rich history of the RAF Red Arrows and their iconic Hawks, and the important role that RAF Binbrook played in shaping the story of British aviation. The team's meticulous alignment on the tarmac, with their red, white, and blue jets gleaming in the sunlight, is a testament to their dedication and skill, and a reminder of the thrill and excitement that aviation continues to inspire.
