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 evocative black-and-white photograph, the Hawker Hurricane and Supermarine Spitfire sit proudly side by side on the tarmac, emblems of the Royal Air Force's (RAF) indomitable spirit during World War Two. Taken by renowned photographer Charles E. Brown, this image captures a moment in time when the RAF's Empire Central Flying School (ECFS) was at the forefront of training the next generation of pilots to fly these iconic British aircraft. The Hawker Hurricane, with its distinctive rounded canopy and powerful Merlin engine, was a formidable fighter that saw extensive action in the Battle of Britain and beyond. Its versatility and durability made it a favorite among RAF pilots, and it played a crucial role in defending the skies over Great Britain against the relentless onslaught of the German Luftwaffe. The Supermarine Spitfire, another RAF legend, is depicted in its graceful, streamlined form next to the Hurricane. With its sleek lines and advanced aerodynamics, the Spitfire was a favorite among pilots for its agility and speed. Its powerful Merlin engine gave it the ability to outmaneuver and outrun many of the enemy fighters it encountered, making it a formidable adversary in the skies. The ECFS was a critical training ground for RAF pilots during the war, and this photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of these brave men and women as they prepared to take to the skies in defense of their country. The Hawker Hurricane and Supermarine Spitfire, two of the most iconic aircraft of the RAF's storied history, stand as symbols of the courage, determination, and skill that defined the RAF during World War Two.
