1940 Blitz Crashed Destruction Luftwaffe Residential Shot Down Wreckage Air Raid
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 powerful print captures the devastating aftermath of a Heinkel bomber crash that occurred on April 30th, 1940. The wreckage of the enemy plane is seen embedded into the residential property at 25 Victoria Road in Clacton. Tragically, both the aircraft's crew and Frederick and Dorothy Gill, who were home at number 25 during this fateful incident, lost their lives. The image serves as a haunting reminder of the intense conflict that engulfed Europe during World War II. As air raids became increasingly common, innocent civilians like the Gills found themselves caught in the crossfire of war. This particular event showcases not only the destructive power of aerial attacks but also highlights how ordinary homes became targets for enemy forces. The photograph offers a glimpse into life on the home front during this tumultuous period. It symbolizes resilience and strength in face of adversity while honoring those who lost their lives defending their homeland against Luftwaffe aggression. Preserved by Memory Lane Prints, this historical artifact transports viewers back to an era defined by destruction and sacrifice. It stands as a testament to human endurance amidst unimaginable devastation caused by war – reminding us never to forget those who paid the ultimate price for our freedom.
