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 evocative photograph, captured by renowned aviation photographer Charles E. Brown, we witness the majestic sight of four Hawker Hunter F.4 jet fighters soaring through the skies above RAF Odiham in Hampshire, England, on 3 December 1956. The Hunters, with their distinctive delta wings and sleek lines, represent the cutting edge of postwar aviation technology and the prowess of the Royal Air Force (RAF). The four aircraft depicted in this image are XE683, XE659, XE658, and WT764, all members of 54 Squadron, which was one of the RAF's frontline fighter units during the Cold War era. The squadron was known for its expertise in operating the Hawker Hunter, a versatile and high-performance jet that saw extensive service in various roles, including interception, ground-attack, and reconnaissance. The photograph captures the Hunters in their element, with their wings outstretched and exhausts trailing plumes of smoke against the clear blue backdrop of the English sky. The pilots, clad in their iconic RAF uniforms, appear focused and determined as they navigate their aircraft through the crisp winter air. This photograph is a testament to the RAF's commitment to maintaining a formidable air defense capability in the postwar period. The Hawker Hunter F.4, with its advanced capabilities and impressive agility, played a crucial role in safeguarding the skies of the United Kingdom and its allies during a time of global tension and uncertainty. Charles E. Brown's image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the RAF's Hunter jets symbolized the pinnacle of aviation achievement and the unwavering resolve of those who served to protect the skies above.
