The Aviationtag X DHL Express Edition is the latest addition to a unique trilogy made from retired Boeing 757 freighters. Built in 1988, D-ALEW first served as a passenger aircraft for British Airways before joining DHL Express in 2003. Converted into a freighter, it transported shipments across the globe until its retirement in 2017. After being decommissioned in 2018, it was dismantled along with its sister aircraft in Castellón.
Now, it lives on as a limited Aviationtag edition! A special feature of this release: For the first time, an Aviationtag bears the DHL Express logo! In our workshop, we carefully cut, polished, and laser-engraved the aircraft’s fuselage to create these unique collector’s items. Each tag is engraved with the aircraft type, registration, and edition number. Limited to just 7,000 pieces, this Aviationtag is a must-have for aviation and logistics enthusiasts!
Note: Each Aviationtag in this edition is a true one-off. Colour, surface texture and material thickness may vary depending on its original location on the aircraft. Minor scratches, marks or wear reflect the long operational life of Boeing 757-200 G-LSAI in international passenger service. Before dismantling, all airline markings, logos and registrations were removed – leaving only the signature Jet2 silver-grey base layer visible.
