1960 Varsity Vickers Lindholme
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 striking photograph from The Peter Butt Aviation Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, we see the Royal Air Force's Vickers Varsity T.1 WL624, proudly displayed at RAF Lindholme in the year 1960. The Varsity, a versatile twin-engine turboprop transport aircraft, was a staple of the RAF's fleet during the post-war era. The image captures the Varsity in all its glory, with its distinctive wing design and sleek, aerodynamic lines. The aircraft's RAF roundels and markings are prominently displayed, adding to its military identity. The Varsity was primarily used for various roles within the RAF, including air transport, maritime patrol, and electronic warfare. The year 1960 marked a significant period in the history of the Varsity, as it was around this time that the aircraft began to be phased out of RAF service in favor of more modern transport aircraft. However, the Varsity continued to serve with other military forces around the world for many years to come. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the aviation history of the Royal Air Force and the Vickers Varsity. The image is a testament to the aircraft's enduring legacy and its important role in the development of military aviation technology during the mid-20th century. The Varsity's presence at RAF Lindholme in 1960 represents a moment in time when innovation and tradition came together to shape the future of military transport capabilities.
