Wow, great history!

This well travelled 737-500 has quite a story to tell - well it would if it could have talked! Thankfully Airskinz took care of that. I particularly love the BA, Astraeus (Palmair and Iceland Express) parts of this aircraft's history. When flying for Palmair, she was named in honour of the airline's late legendary founder 'Peter Bath'. Following her retirement (painted in the partial livery of an airline she never actually flew with), ironically taking a bath is what she then did! I just want to thank you Airskinz for my beautifully crafted as always (dry)😁 tag.👍

AIRSKINZ Boeing B737-500 G-PJPJ

A superb addition to a great selection of aircraft skin key tags from AIRSKINZ.
A very interesting aircraft with a career involving state carriers,specialised charter operators and ending its life on a film set.Beautifully finished with a detailed history on the reverse of the tag.Great service from AIRSKINZ,quick dispatch and a nice colourful card attached with the tag,with an AIRSKINZ sticker included.All in all a must have for collectors.
