SUPER GUPPY - F-BTGV Rare Complete Set (Summer Aviationtag Event)

Mann Inc - Summer Aviationtag Event

A rare opportunity to purchase rare tags, and also tag sets. 

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  or DPD 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.

SUPER GUPPY - F-BTGV

The extremely rare cargo plane F-BTGV - a Super Guppy Turbine (SGT) built by Aero Spacelines - was built in the 1960s on the basis of the Boeing 377 Stratocruiser and during its lifetime primarily transported aircraft parts for the Concorde and Airbus -Models for the final assembly plant in Toulouse. She is the first of only two Super Guppies to be used by the world's largest aircraft manufacturer, Airbus.

The Super Guppy with its voluminous fuselage was in service for almost a quarter of a century and took off on its last flight on July 1, 1996 to Bruntingthorpe/England. There she has been cared for and restored with a lot of love and dedication by the "Super Guppy Restoration Project" since 2009.

Only five Super Guppys have ever been in the air and we are happy to bring the historic freighter home to you in the form of an Aviationtag!
