This aviation tag is made from a real fuselage of a Hawker Siddeley Trident 3B passenger airplane with the tail number G-AWZU, one of the most famous representatives of British aviation in the 60s and 80s. The Trident was created by de Havilland at the special request of British European Airways (BEA) and was technically extremely advanced at the time of its introduction: it was the first airliner in the world capable of automatic landing in low visibility conditions, which gave an advantage in foggy British airports. In addition, it was one of the fastest subsonic commercial aircraft of its time. Nevertheless, due to the narrow adaptation to the BEA and the protracted development cycle, the Trident did not gain wide international success and did not withstand competition with the Boeing 727.
The G-AWZU, from which this tag is made, entered service in October 1972, first with BEA and, after the merger with BOAC, with British Airways. This aircraft was one of two Trident aircraft that completed the last scheduled flight of this type for British Airways on December 31, 1985. Upon completion of its flight service, it was transferred to the Stansted Airport Fire Service for training purposes, where it remained until 2003. Today, the nose section of this aircraft can be seen at the Jet Age Museum in Gloucester, where it is kept as a museum piece.
The airplane tag is made from a part of the skin of this particular plane. The metal has original scratches and texture preserved from its operation. The surface is engraved with the silhouette of the aircraft, technical information (model, MSN 2321, registration), and the inscription “Genuine Aircraft Skin” as a confirmation of authenticity. Each tag has a unique number and is part of an extremely limited edition of only 95 pieces, making it a true collector's item. This is not just a souvenir, but a part of aviation history that has lived in the sky for more than a decade. It is ideal for collectors, fans of British aviation and anyone who appreciates authentic things with a soul.
