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
In this image, a Panavia Tornado F3 jet from 111 (F) Squadron, based at RAF Leuchars in Scotland, releases a trail of chaff and flares over the North Sea. The Tornado F3, a versatile and advanced multirole combat aircraft, is seen in its element as it soars through the sky, ready to defend against potential threats. The dispensation of chaff and flares is an essential tactic employed by military aircraft to confuse and distract heat-seeking missiles and radar-guided weapons. The tiny reflective particles, known as chaff, scatter radar signals, making it difficult for enemy systems to lock onto the aircraft. Flares, on the other hand, produce an intense infrared signature that can mislead heat-seeking missiles, providing valuable seconds for the pilot to evade danger. The North Sea, with its vast expanse and unpredictable weather conditions, presents a challenging environment for military aviation. The Tornado F3, with its advanced avionics and robust design, is well-equipped to handle the demanding conditions and maintain air superiority. The aircraft's powerful engines generate a significant amount of heat, which is evident in the trail of exhaust fumes that follows the Tornado as it flies above the sea. The image captures the raw power and agility of the Tornado F3, as well as the importance of its role in protecting the skies and ensuring the safety of national interests. The scene is a testament to the skill and bravery of the pilots and ground crew who operate these impressive machines, and the dedication of the RAF to maintaining its readiness and capability.
