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 spirit of the RAF's Vickers Wellington II bomber in action during World War II. The image, taken by acclaimed aviation photographer Charles E. Brown, depicts a Wellington II aircraft of 104 Squadron in flight, its wings casting long shadows against the sky. The Vickers Wellington II was a key component of the RAF's strategic bombing campaign against Germany during the early years of the war. Its versatility and durability made it an essential asset, capable of carrying both bombs and mines, as well as being used for maritime patrol and anti-submarine missions. The Wellington II was also known for its distinctive silhouette, with its twin engines nestled in the wings and the large, round bomb bay doors visible beneath the fuselage. The aircraft's distinctive RAF roundels and squadron markings can be seen clearly in this photograph, identifying it as a member of 104 Squadron. The crew of the Wellington II, dressed in their flying gear, would have faced great danger on each mission. The aircraft was vulnerable to enemy fire, and nighttime bombing runs were particularly hazardous. Yet, despite these risks, the men of the RAF continued to fly these missions, determined to bring the war to the enemy and help secure victory for the Allies. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the bravery and sacrifice of the RAF's airmen during World War II. It is a testament to their courage and determination, and a reminder of the important role that the Vickers Wellington II played in the history of the RAF.
