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 evocative photograph captures the spirit of the brave pilots of 257 Squadron RAF during World War II, standing proudly in front of their Hawker Typhoon fighter aircraft at RAF Warmwell on 13 May 1943. The seven pilots, dressed in their flying gear and leather helmets, exude a sense of determination and focus as they prepare for another mission. The Hawker Typhoon, a formidable machine of the time, looms large in the background, its powerful engines and menacing propellers a testament to the technological prowess of the Royal Air Force. The Hawker Typhoon was a versatile fighter aircraft that saw action in various roles during the war, including ground-attack and fighter-bomber missions. It was particularly effective against German armored columns and V-1 flying bombs, earning a reputation as a formidable weapon in the RAF's arsenal. The pilots of 257 Squadron played a crucial role in the defense of the United Kingdom during the war, engaging in numerous air battles and contributing significantly to the Allied victory. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of their bravery and sacrifice, as well as the important role the RAF played in the defense of the country during World War II. Charles E Brown, the photographer, captured this moment in history with remarkable skill and precision, preserving it for future generations to appreciate and learn from. The photograph is a valuable addition to the collections of the Royal Air Force Museum, providing a unique insight into the lives of the pilots and the aircraft they flew during this pivotal period in history.
