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 photograph by Charles E. Brown, the Hunters of 92 Squadron's Blue Diamonds display team take to the skies above the Farnborough Airshow in the post-war era, accompanied by the iconic Supermarine Spitfire Vb of the RAF Battle of Britain Memorial Flight. The year is not explicitly stated, but the image exudes an air of nostalgia and a sense of a bygone era in aviation history. The Blue Diamonds, a renowned RAF display team, are seen in their distinctive blue and white livery, forming intricate formations against the clear blue sky. Their Hawker Hunter Mk.55 jet trainers, with their sleek lines and powerful engines, represent the cutting edge of aviation technology in the late 1950s and early 1960s. The team's precise maneuvers and daring displays were a testament to the skill and professionalism of the RAF's pilots. In stark contrast to the modern jets, the Spitfire Vb, with its elegant curves and rounded canopy, appears as a relic from a previous war. This iconic aircraft, a symbol of the RAF's triumphs during the Battle of Britain, continues to captivate audiences with its grace and power. The Spitfire's presence at the airshow serves as a reminder of the rich history of the RAF and the sacrifices made by its pilots during times of conflict. The combination of the Blue Diamonds' dynamic display and the Spitfire's timeless beauty encapsulates the essence of the Farnborough Airshow and the enduring allure of aviation. This photograph by Charles E. Brown is a testament to the past, present, and future of the Royal Air Force and its commitment to innovation and excellence.
