The Vickers Viscount took its maiden flight almost 75 years ago - and took the world by storm. The newest vintage PlaneTags are made from VX-AVE, a retired Viscount v.831. Introducing Vickers Viscount 800 Series PlaneTags from MotoArt!

The Viscount was a British medium-range, four-engined turboprop airliner produced by Vickers-Armstrong. Its design was based on requirements for a post-WWII civil aircraft and became one of the most successful post-war commercial aircraft, with significant sales even in North America. The Viscount was the first turboprop airliner to operate passenger service and to offer the first regularly scheduled flights by a turbine-powered aircraft. The revolutionary cabin pressurization provided a quiet, comfortable ride and became a favorite of passengers and airlines alike, and the most popular commercial airliner of its time. 445 were built, 3 of which were v.831, which featured Rolls Royce Dart 525 engines and 60 seats.

DISCLAIMER

Perfect Aviation Gift

PlaneTags are: 

• Authentic - made from actual retired aircraft fuselage, not merely stamped metal. 
• Unique -  each PlaneTag bears the color, thickness, and wear and tear from the portion of the fuselage from which it was cut and it is therefore rare to create two identical PlaneTags. 
• Collectible - each one is numbered in a limited edition and comes attached to a display card. 
  
• Versatile - comes with a durable metal ring, strong enough to attach to luggage or keys or display.

*Important Notice – Please Read Carefully

PlaneTags are made from actual retired aircraft fuselage, not merely stamped metal. Because PlaneTags are made from real fuselage, each PlaneTag bears the color, thickness, and wear and tear from the portion of the fuselage from which it was cut and it is therefore rare to create two identical PlaneTags. These variations and imperfections are not product flaws. They are part of the beauty of PlaneTags. As a result, you will not have an option to select the color of your PlaneTag. The images on this website are provided for reference only and should not be used as the sole basis for choosing a particular PlaneTag.
