Appeal Blue Peter Helicopter Leamington Pupils Stamps
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
In this heartwarming photo print, we see young pupil Aiden Reeve and TV presenter Chris Wenner proudly carrying a sack full of stamps. These stamps were collected at Arnold Lodge Prep School in Leamington for the "Blue Peter" television programme appeal, aimed at helping the sick in remote parts of Tanzania, East Africa. The incredible transportation was made possible by Aiden's dad Richard, who owns a helicopter and farms in Eathorpe. The dedication and generosity shown by the students at Arnold Lodge Prep School is truly inspiring. Starting their stamp collection efforts in mid-January, they managed to gather an impressive average of 330 stamps per pupil. The weight of the sack reached approximately 30lbs and contained over 100,000 stamps! Mrs. Moira King, the headmaster's secretary expressed her overwhelming delight with the response from both students and staff alike. This remarkable display of compassion demonstrates how even small acts can make a significant impact on those less fortunate. The uplifting moment captured here also includes interviews conducted by Chris Wenner with Aiden and his fellow student for an upcoming episode of "Blue Peter". Their story will undoubtedly inspire viewers across the nation as they witness these young individuals' commitment to making a difference. This photograph from March 6th, 1979 serves as a timeless reminder that kindness knows no bounds when it comes to lending a helping hand to those in need.
