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 evocative black-and-white photograph, a quartet of Royal Air Force (RAF) Bristol 156 Beaufighter IV fighters are seen in pursuit of their elusive quarry against the backdrop of a stormy sky. The Beaufighter, a versatile aircraft that served the RAF with distinction during World War II, was a formidable weapon in the hands of its pilots. With its powerful armament of eight machine guns and four 20mm cannon, it was a potent force against both enemy aircraft and ground targets. Just under 6,000 Beaufighters were built during the war, making it one of the most produced RAF aircraft types. The Beaufighter's success can be attributed to its versatility, as it was used not only as a fighter but also as a night fighter, maritime reconnaissance aircraft, and even as a torpedo bomber. In this image, the Beaufighters appear poised and ready for action, their wings slicing through the turbulent clouds as they climb towards their target. The pilots' intense focus and determination are palpable, as they embark on another mission to protect their country and secure victory in the skies. The photograph captures the raw power and intensity of air combat during World War II, making it a significant historical record of this pivotal period in aviation history.
