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
This photograph showcases the Fleet Air Arm's de Havilland DH.115 Sea Vampire T.22 XA160 (msn 15502), a iconic aircraft that graced the skies during the 1950s and 1960s. Delivered to the Fleet Air Arm on 28 June 1954, this Sea Vampire served valiantly in the British naval aviation fleet. The Sea Vampire was a significant advancement in naval aviation technology, featuring a tailhook for arrested landings on aircraft carriers and the ability to operate from short runways. The Sea Vampire T.22 XA160 is depicted here in its prime, with its sleek lines and distinctive inverted gull wing design. The Sea Vampire was powered by a de Havilland Ghost 103 engine, which delivered impressive performance for the time. This particular aircraft was eventually retired from service and sold for scrap on 4 November 1965 at RNAS Brawdy. The Sea Vampire was an essential part of the Royal Navy's fleet, providing valuable training for pilots and contributing to the defense of the United Kingdom. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of naval aviation and the iconic aircraft that have shaped its legacy. The Sea Vampire remains a beloved model among aviation enthusiasts and a reminder of the thrill and excitement of flight during the mid-20th century.
