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 Hawker Siddeley Andover C1, registration number XS639, gracefully parked at Middle Wallop Airfield. The Andover C1, a versatile military transport aircraft, was manufactured by Hawker Siddeley, a renowned British aerospace company, between 1962 and 1967. XS639, with its distinctive grey and red livery, is seen here in its element at Middle Wallop, a Royal Air Force station located in Hampshire, England. The Andover C1 was designed primarily for the transport of troops, cargo, and equipment, making it an essential asset for military operations. Its twin turboprop engines enabled it to operate from unpaved runways and short strips, enhancing its versatility in various terrain types. The image captures the Andover C1's sleek and robust design, with its high-wing configuration and spacious cargo hold. The aircraft's large cargo door is open, revealing the cavernous interior that could accommodate up to 60 passengers or 12,000 pounds of cargo. The Andover C1's versatility extended to its ability to be fitted with various configurations, including medical evacuation, paratroop drop, and even aerial refueling. This photograph is a testament to the Andover C1's enduring legacy in military aviation history. Its service life spanned over four decades, with the last operational flights taking place in the late 2000s. Today, the Andover C1 remains a cherished memory for aviation enthusiasts and a symbol of the remarkable advancements in military transport aircraft design.
