Circular Flight Plane Round Royal Air Force Porthole
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 photo print, we are transported back to August 1970, where the Royal Air Force proudly showcases its new Hawker Siddley Nimrod MR1 maritime patrol aircraft. Through the window of the Avro Shackleton, a legendary but aging plane it replaced, we catch a glimpse of this modern marvel soaring through the skies. The image captures the essence of progress and innovation in aviation during the 1970s. The circular porthole frames our view, adding a unique perspective to this momentous occasion. As light streams into the cabin, it illuminates every detail of both planes - one representing tradition and history, while the other symbolizes cutting-edge technology. The contrast between these two aircraft is striking; however, there is an undeniable sense of respect for their shared purpose: protecting national waters and ensuring security from above. This photograph encapsulates not only military might but also highlights how advancements in flight have shaped our world. As we gaze upon this remarkable scene frozen in time by Mirrorpix's lens, we can't help but appreciate how far aviation has come since those early days. It serves as a reminder that progress is constant and necessary for any institution or industry to thrive. This print truly captures an era when roundels adorned wings with pride and RAF pilots soared through endless blue skies on missions vital to national defense.
