17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 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 17x15 inches (431x381mm). 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
1. Title: The First Percival E2 Mew Gull, G-ACND: A Pioneering Milestone in Aviation History 2.. This photograph showcases the historic moment as the first Percival E2 Mew Gull, registration number G-ACND, takes to the skies for the very first time. The Percival Aircraft Company, based in Llandow, Wales, manufactured this innovative biplane between 1935 and 1938. The Mew Gull was designed primarily for the training of pilots, with its open cockpit configuration and robust construction. 3. Background: The Percival E2 Mew Gull was a significant development in the aviation industry, as it was one of the first aircraft to incorporate a number of advanced features. These included a cantilever wing design, a retractable landing gear system, and a streamlined fuselage. These features not only improved the aircraft's performance but also contributed to its sleek and modern appearance. 4. Design and Development: The Mew Gull was designed by the talented team at Percival Aircraft, led by Nevil Shute Norway, who was also an accomplished author. The aircraft's name was derived from the Mew Gull, a common seabird found along the coast of Wales. The Mew Gull was powered by a de Havilland Gipsy Major engine, which provided a top speed of around 110 mph. 5. Impact: The first flight of the Percival E2 Mew Gull, G-ACND, on March 22, 1936, marked the beginning of a new era in aviation training. The Mew Gull's innovative design and advanced features set a new standard for training aircraft, and it went on to become a popular choice among flying schools and private pilots. This photograph captures the excitement and anticipation of this groundbreaking moment in aviation history.
