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 GAF Nomad 22B VH-MSF (msn 069) of the Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS), an iconic aircraft that graced the Australian skies during the 1980s. The Nomad 22B, manufactured by Government Aircraft Factories (GAF), first took to the air on 13 February 1978, and was delivered to the RFDS on 6 August of the same year. The RFDS is a renowned Australian organization that provides essential medical and emergency services to remote and rural communities across the vast expanse of the country. The Nomad 22B, with its distinctive design and versatile capabilities, played a crucial role in the RFDS's mission to deliver life-saving care to those in need. With its short takeoff and landing (STOL) capabilities, the Nomad was able to access even the most remote and challenging airstrips, making it an invaluable asset to the organization. The aircraft, which can be seen here in its RFDS livery, remained in service with the organization until it was sold in January 1999. Over the years, it transported medical personnel, supplies, and patients to and from various destinations, saving countless lives in the process. This photograph is a testament to the vital role that the GAF Nomad 22B played in the RFDS's mission to provide essential medical services to the people of Australia's outback. Its legacy continues to inspire and remind us of the importance of access to quality healthcare, no matter where one may live.
