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 photograph, a Bristol Beaufighter IF Mk.I of 25 Squadron Royal Air Force (RAF) takes to the skies above the shores of England during the tumultuous year of 1940. The image, captured by renowned photographer Charles E. Brown, offers a glimpse into the intense and pivotal period of the Second World War when the RAF defended the United Kingdom against the relentless onslaught of the German Air Force, or Luftwaffe. The Beaufighter, a versatile and formidable aircraft, was a key asset in the RAF's arsenal during the Battle of Britain. Equipped with powerful armament, including eight machine guns and four 20mm cannons, this particular Beaufighter was specifically designed for night interception and intruder roles. The "IF" designation stands for "Interceptor Fighter." The 25 Squadron, based at RAF Exeter in Devon, was one of the RAF's most active and successful units during the war. Formed in 1915, the squadron saw action in both the First and Second World Wars. In 1940, it was tasked with protecting the southwestern approaches to the UK from enemy air raids. The photograph captures the Beaufighter as it ascends into the overcast sky, its wings glinting in the sunlight, and the distinctive propeller blades casting long shadows on the ground. The image is a testament to the bravery and determination of the RAF pilots who risked their lives to defend their country during the darkest days of the war. Charles E. Brown, a prolific and talented photographer, captured this moment in history, preserving it for future generations to appreciate and learn from. The photograph is now part of the extensive collection at the RAF Museum, a reminder of the crucial role the RAF played in the defense of the United Kingdom during World War Two.
