The BAC 1-11: A New Aviationtag Edition with a Storied Past

Our latest Aviationtag Edition is crafted from the rear section of a British Aircraft Corporation (BAC) 1-11 Series 500. Built in 1980 and delivered to British Airways as G-BGKE, it served at Manchester Airport for 11 years. In 1991, it joined the Defence Evaluation and Research Agency, was re-registered as ZH763, and flew radar trial missions. From 2006, the aircraft was operated as a flying labatory by QinetiQ, a multinational defence technology company based in Farnborough.

After its final flight in 2013, the BAC 1-11 was displayed at the Cornwall Aviation Heritage Centre until its closure in 2022. The front fuselage was acquired by the Solent Sky Museum in Southampton, while the rear section has been upcycled into our Aviationtags.

This aircraft tag edition captures the rich legacy of the BAC 1-11, making it a tangible piece of aviation history for collectors and enthusiasts alike.

Dimensions: 35x88mm / 10x15cm with Cardboard

HS Code: 7616.99.00, Keychain

Note: Anyone looking for a shiny or new-looking Aviationtag should not purchase this edition. This series clearly shows its age of over 40 years. Each Aviationtag bears traces of aviation history and has its share of imperfections, scratches, dents, rust, and paint chips, which also contribute to the uniqueness of each individual tag. This cannot be accepted as a reason for complaint.

We recommend using the Aviationtag protective cover.

British Aircraft Corporation BAC 1-11: The BAC 1-11 was a British short and medium-haul aircraft that first flew in 1963 and was valued for its reliability. It was produced by the British Aircraft Corporation and was one of the first jet aircraft in its class to go into successful series production. The aircraft was particularly popular with European and American airlines and flew until the 1990s. A total of 244 units were built before it was replaced by more modern aircraft types.

We ship to most countries worldwide, with only a few exceptions. For most destinations, we offer standard shipping with DHL – our Economy Class – as well as express shipping with DHL Express – our First Class. The exact shipping costs depend on the destination country, shipping method and weight of your order and will be calculated for your delivery address at checkout.

Delivery time depends on whether you choose standard shipping or express shipping. With DHL Express, your order usually reaches you worldwide within a few days.

These costs are set by the local authorities and are outside our control.

Yes, small dents, scratches, paint chips or other signs of use are possible. These marks do not come from production, but from the aircraft’s time in service, flying millions of miles and being exposed to weather, UV radiation and extreme conditions at high altitude. They are part of what makes every Aviationtag unique – a genuine piece of aviation history.
