31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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, a Hawker Hunter F.1 jet fighter of 54 Squadron soars through the skies above RAF Odiham in Hampshire, England, during the summer of 1955. The Royal Air Force (RAF) base, which was home to various flying units during the post-World War II era, served as a crucial training ground for pilots and their aircraft. The Hawker Hunter F.1, a single-engine, all-weather fighter, was a significant addition to the RAF's fleet. Its sleek design and advanced capabilities made it a formidable aircraft, both in the air and on the ground. With a top speed of over 600 miles per hour and a range of nearly 1,500 miles, the Hunter was a versatile machine that could be used for various roles, including interception, ground-attack, and reconnaissance. In this photograph, we see the Hunter in its element, its wings slicing through the air as it climbs towards the heavens. The pilot, clad in his flying gear, is focused intently on the task at hand, his eyes scanning the horizon for any potential threats. The sky behind him is clear and blue, with only the occasional wisp of cloud to break the monotony. The image, taken by renowned aviation photographer Charles E. Brown, captures the essence of the post-war RAF, a time of rebuilding and innovation. The Hawker Hunter F.1, with its advanced technology and sleek design, was a symbol of the RAF's determination to remain at the forefront of air power. This photograph is a testament to the bravery and skill of the pilots who flew these magnificent machines, and to the enduring legacy of the Royal Air Force.
