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 print captures the awe-inspiring sight of the Hunting Percival Jet Provost T. 1, with registration XD674, soaring through the skies on a sunny day in August 1954. The aircraft is depicted in flight from Luton Airport, showcasing its sleek design and powerful presence against the backdrop of fluffy white clouds. As a training aircraft developed postwar, this prototype exemplifies the RAF's commitment to advancing aviation technology during that era. Its streamlined fuselage and elegant wingspan are testaments to both form and function, embodying the spirit of innovation prevalent at that time. Renowned photographer Charles E Brown skillfully captured this momentous occasion when XD674 took to the air for testing purposes. His keen eye for detail allows us to appreciate not only the sheer beauty of this machine but also its significance in shaping future generations of pilots. Displayed proudly at Royal Air Force (RAF) Museum, this print serves as a reminder of our rich aviation history and pays homage to those who dedicated their lives to pushing boundaries in aerial warfare. It invites viewers into a world where dreams take flight and inspires them with an enduring sense of wonderment. Whether you're an aviation enthusiast or simply captivated by breathtaking imagery, this photograph transports you back in time to witness firsthand one of Britain's most iconic training aircrafts reaching new heights above Luton Airport over six decades ago.
