Boeing 747 - G-CIVE (Blue) #1779

The Boeing 747-400 with the registration G-CIVE and the manufacturer's serial number MSN 27350 was built in the early 1990s and delivered to the British flag carrier British Airways. The machine blew up for the first time in December 1994 under its name "Victor Echo".

The Boeing 747-400 was a real frequent flyer - In its 25 years of service, "Victor Echo" flew 111,086 hours on 13,356 flights and covered more than 55 million miles.

On March 25, 2020, the Boeing 747-400 was retired and parked at London Heathrow until September 16, 2020 before being transferred to St. Athan to await our use as an Aviationtag.

We are delighted to welcome "Victor Echo" to the Aviationtag fleet.

Any Aviationtag sold in the UK includes VAT. However each Aviationtag sold outside the UK is TAX free. 

It will be subject to TAX and duty at point of delivery. A handling charge can be expected. If you purchase this item you consent to paying these charges at the point of delivery. Mann Inc Ltd cannot provide advice with regards to the additional cost as it varies for country to country. This can be found on your own government website. The handling charge for DHL can be found on the DHL website for your country. 

Any item returned to us or any order that has a delivery refusal will be refunded minus the additional fees charged plus the original postage cost. We strongly recommend any order made by a resident of China includes the official resident ID number to ensure its not refused by customs. 

Please note: Every tag is unique. Depending on the plane, tags may vary in terms of haptics, material thickness and colour. Small blemishes bear witness to the plane’s long history and are an authentic reminder of its glory days over the clouds. Small scratches, flaky paint and imperfections are totally normal and give our Aviationtags their unique charm – the charm of a vintage product crafted from upcycled materials. These quirks are not the result of the production process, they simply reflect the state of the aircraft material we use when it was extracted.
