Is this really cut from G-AWNA?

Pieces are cut from painted fuselage panels - the exterior skin, not the interior trim. Which part of the aircraft a given piece came from depends on where the livery fell on the airframe. Certificate of authenticity included.

Wipe with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid solvents and abrasives - they will take the original paint with them. The aluminium is sealed at the edges and will not corrode indoors.

About this aircraft

The aircrafttag magnets have a size of 95mm x 47mm and stick to any magnetic surface. IMPORTANT: USA, Canada and Japan orders will be sent without a magnet on the backside.

G-AWNA was the first Boeing 747 to be taken over by a British airline and the first to be registered in the UK.

It was delivered to British Overseas Airways Corporation (BOAC) on April 20, 1970.
It was painted in the original BOAC livery. In 1974, BOAC and British European Airways (BEA) merged to become the current British Airways. Only the BOAC lettering on G-AWNA was replaced with British Airways. Later, the new BA tail colours were applied as a further interim measure before NA was repaint into full BA livery in 1977.
Also in later years G-AWNA got some non standard liveries. At the end of its flying career the red line of the Landor livery was painted over and the letters BOAC were placed above British Airways.
Finally, this unique Boeing 747-100 was retired from service on October 31, 1998.

Please be informed, that you order a piece of aviation history. This aircrafttag travelled for more than 1 decade around the world between +40°C and -60°C. This is why you may find dents and scratches on it. As well imperfections of paint may occur. But this is what we want to provide to you.

We remind you that this aircrafttag is not suitable for children.

Scratches are the point

This aluminium spent decades between +40 °C on the ramp and −60 °C at altitude, through rain, hail, de-icing fluid and ultraviolet light. It has dents, scratches and paint wear. That wear is the evidence that it flew - a flawless piece would mean it never did.
