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 photograph, taken by Charles E. Brown on 26th April 1955, showcases the Fairey Gannet AS.1 and T.2 aircraft of 824 Squadron in flight, proudly representing the Royal Air Force (RAF) during the post-war era. The Fairey Gannet, a versatile and innovative aircraft, was primarily used by the Fleet Air Arm for anti-submarine warfare, search and rescue, and maritime patrol missions. The AS.1 variant, visible in the foreground, was a single-engine, twin-boom, amphibian aircraft, designed to operate from both land and water. Equipped with a dipping sonar and magnetic anomaly detector, it was capable of detecting and attacking submarines, making it an essential asset in the RAF's fleet. The T.2 version, seen in the background, was a trainer model used to instruct pilots and crew members in the skills required for operating the AS.1 in various maritime roles. The T.2 featured similar design elements to the AS.1 but lacked the sonar and weapon systems. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the Fairey Gannet's impressive capabilities and the RAF's commitment to maintaining a strong maritime presence. The image also highlights the camaraderie and professionalism of the 824 Squadron personnel, as they expertly maneuver their aircraft in formation. The Fairey Gannet served the RAF from the late 1940s to the late 1960s, making significant contributions to the UK's defense during the Cold War. Today, this iconic aircraft remains a testament to the ingenuity and determination of the Royal Air Force and its pilots.
