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 evocative photograph captures the intensity and urgency of wartime aviation as a De Havilland Mosquito FB.VI of 143 Squadron Royal Air Force is prepared for flight at RAF Banff in February 1945. The Mosquito, a versatile and iconic aircraft of the Second World War, was renowned for its speed, agility, and versatility. In this image, ground crew members diligently attend to the final preparations, ensuring that every detail is perfect before the aircraft takes to the sky. The Mosquito was a British success story, designed and manufactured by De Havilland Aircraft Company. Its distinctive sleek lines and wooden construction made it a formidable opponent, capable of outpacing many enemy fighters. The FB.VI variant, seen here, was a fighter-bomber version, armed with four 20mm cannon and up to 2,000 pounds of bombs. RAF Banff, located in Scotland, was an important base for the Mosquito during the war. Its strategic location allowed it to play a key role in operations against German targets in Norway and Germany. The squadrons based there conducted numerous raids, including attacks on enemy shipping, airfields, and infrastructure. The image of the Mosquito being prepared for flight is a poignant reminder of the courage and dedication of the men and women who served in the Royal Air Force during the Second World War. Their efforts, and those of the ground crew, ensured that the RAF maintained its air superiority and played a crucial role in the eventual Allied victory.
