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
This photograph captures the moment an Agusta-Westland Wessex helicopter soars over the deck of HMS Fearless (L10) at Lee-on-Solent on 2 March 1966. The Royal Air Force (RAF) Westland Wessex, a versatile and iconic British-built helicopter, was a workhorse of the British military, capable of performing various roles including transport, anti-submarine warfare, and search and rescue. In this image, the Wessex's powerful rotors cast a shadow over the flight deck as it approaches the amphibious assault ship, HMS Fearless, which was part of the Royal Navy's 1st Commando Brigade. The ship's distinctive silhouette, with its helicopter landing pad and rows of lifeboats, provides a striking backdrop to the helicopter's graceful flight. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the synergy between the RAF and Royal Navy in their joint operations during the 1960s. This evocative image is a testament to the rich history of British military aviation and maritime power.
