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 Royal Air Force (RAF) Hawker Siddeley Buccaneer S.2B, registration number XX891 J and affectionately named "Just Married," of No.15 Squadron, parked proudly at RAF Abingdon in 1982. The Buccaneer S.2B, a versatile and powerful low-level strike and maritime attack aircraft, was a mainstay of the RAF's inventory during the 1970s and 1980s. The image captures the essence of aviation and transportation history, with the Buccaneer's distinctive delta wing and powerful engines creating a striking contrast against the backdrop of the RAF base. The aircraft's sleek design and military markings are a testament to the engineering prowess of Hawker Siddeley, the British aerospace company that produced the Buccaneer. Peter Butt, a skilled aviation photographer, captured this moment in time, preserving the image for future generations to appreciate. The Buccaneer's presence at RAF Abingdon was a significant one, as the base was a key operational location for the RAF during the Cold War. The aircraft's ability to carry a variety of weapons, including bombs and missiles, made it an essential asset in the defense of the United Kingdom. This photograph is an important reminder of the rich history of the Royal Air Force and its role in protecting the nation. The Buccaneer S.2B, with its distinctive design and powerful capabilities, remains an iconic symbol of aviation and aeronautical engineering. This image is a must-have for any aviation enthusiast or history buff, and a reminder of the vital role that the RAF continues to play in transportation and transportation history.
