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 historic photograph, Major Frank Bernard Halford CBE FRAeS (1894-1955) stands proudly in front of the prototype de Havilland Comet, marking a significant moment in aviation history. Major Halford, a renowned figure in the field of aeronautics, served as the President of the Royal Aeronautical Society from 1951 to 1952. The image was captured in 1955, a year before the Comet's first commercial flight, which revolutionized air travel with its innovative design and ability to fly at supersonic speeds. Major Halford's distinguished career in aviation began in the Royal Flying Corps during World War I, where he flew Sopwith Camels and earned the Military Cross. After the war, he joined de Havilland Aircraft Company, where he played a crucial role in the development of various aircraft models. His expertise and contributions to the aviation industry were recognized with numerous accolades, including the CBE (Commander of the Order of the British Empire) and Fellowship of the Royal Aeronautical Society (FRAeS). The Comet prototype, a groundbreaking achievement in aviation technology, is seen here in its pre-production stage. Its innovative design, featuring a swept-wing configuration and a pressurized cabin, paved the way for the era of jet-powered commercial air travel. Major Halford's presence in this photograph underscores his role in the development of this revolutionary aircraft and his significant impact on the aviation industry.
