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 photo print, titled "Airmen of Long Range Development Unit, with map, Upper Heyford, 1938" offers a glimpse into the world of the Royal Air Force during the interwar period. Taken by renowned photographer Charles E Brown, this image captures a group of determined airmen in their element at RAF Upper Heyford. The photograph showcases these brave individuals huddled around an enormous map spread out before them. Their focused expressions and attentive postures reveal their dedication to meticulous planning and strategizing. It is evident that they are preparing for an important mission or perhaps analyzing previous operations. Set against the backdrop of an airfield hangar, this image exudes a sense of purpose and professionalism that characterized the RAF during this era. The Airmen's uniforms proudly display their squadron badges and insignia, symbolizing their commitment to serving King and country. Notably taken two years prior to World War II erupting across Europe, this snapshot provides us with a poignant reminder of the anticipation that hung in the air during those uncertain times. These men were undoubtedly aware of the looming threat on the horizon but remained steadfast in their duty to protect Britain's skies. Preserved within the archives of Royal Air Force Museum, this print serves as both a historical artifact and testament to the courage exhibited by these early aviators. It allows us to reflect upon their contributions while honoring their legacy as pioneers within aviation history.
