Note: Each Aviationtag in this edition is truly one of a kind. Depending on the position on the aircraft, tags vary in texture, thickness, and color. Minor scratches, dents, or chipped paint reflect the aircraft’s decades-long service life in passenger and cargo operations as the Boeing 747-400M “City of Vancouver.” Some plane tags even still feature original vinyl layers from its last operational phase – these may partially peel over time, which is not a defect but a sign of authenticity. These imperfections are not the result of production but part of the aircraft’s real operational history – giving each Aviationtag its unique character.
The Boeing 747 VQ-BWM was dismantled in 2024 at Stansted. To preserve the original surface, the material was salvaged with great care. If used as a keychain or luggage tag, we recommend our Aviationtag protective cover to help maintain its condition.
Boeing 747-400M: The 747-400M, also known as the “Combi,” is a rare variant of the legendary Boeing 747, designed to carry both passengers and cargo on the main deck – made possible by a rear cargo door. Only 61 were ever built. The 747-400M features extended wings with iconic winglets, improving aerodynamic efficiency. Its distinctive upper deck and massive 64.44-meter wingspan made the 747 an aviation icon.
