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 evocative black-and-white photograph, Hawker Sea Hurricane IB Z4039 soars through the sky, leaving a trail of vapor in its wake. This iconic image, captured by renowned aviation photographer Charles E. Brown during World War II, offers a glimpse into the past of the Royal Air Force (RAF) and the Fleet Air Arm's valiant efforts to protect Britain's shores. The Sea Hurricane IB, a variant of the legendary Hawker Hurricane fighter, was specifically designed for the RAF's Fleet Air Arm to provide effective defense against the Axis Powers' air and naval threats. With its distinctive shape and powerful Rolls-Royce Merlin engine, this agile and versatile aircraft played a crucial role in the Battle of the Atlantic and the European theater of war. Z4039, bearing the markings of 762 Squadron, was one of many Sea Hurricanes that saw action during the conflict. The squadron, based at RNAS Yeovilton in Somerset, England, was formed in August 1940 and primarily operated from aircraft carriers. Their Sea Hurricanes provided essential air cover for convoys and naval operations, helping to secure vital supplies and protect Allied forces from enemy attacks. This photograph, taken in 1943, captures the raw power and determination of the RAF and the Fleet Air Arm during World War II. The Sea Hurricane IB, with its distinctive cowling and propeller, stands as a testament to the courage and skill of the pilots who flew these magnificent machines in defense of their country. Today, this image serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made during a pivotal moment in history and the enduring legacy of the RAF and the Fleet Air Arm.
