British Airways Concorde Rolls Royce 58 Hiduminium skin tag
One of the most incredible releases we have ever had- Concorde Rolls Royce 58 Hiduminium skin tag❤️✈️
This metal, previously owned by British Airways and sourced from the very last interior designers of Concorde for BA, was used as additional stock of skin to replace any sections that became corroded or damaged in flight due to the speed the aircraft flew at and how often they had to be replaced/repaired.
The nominal percentage composition of RR58 is 2.5 copper, 1.5 magnesium, 1.0 iron, 1.2 nickel, 0.2 silicon, 0.1 titanium and the remainder aluminium. The sheet is clad with aluminium in which there is 1.0 per cent zirconium. The general distribution of materials in the airframe is shown in the photo attached. Hiduminium-RR58 is used for the majority of the structure, steel for sections subjected to higher temperatures and the highest loads and resin bonded glass fibre for the extreme nose section, where the skin temperature is highest.
The panel these cuts are from is labelled E/13/A/14 which can be traced as exclusively for Concorde use and had the aircraft continued to fly this panel would no doubt have ended up forming a replacement part of one of the BA fleet. To be clear- these sections are unflown.
These tags come in their own specially made display tin, and you have the option to have a small hole in the tag or without. If you choose to have a hole, there will be a keyring provided within the box for you too.
Also you have the chance to have your or your loved one’s name engraved on the rear of the tag or tin under the writing (the writing would be made slightly smaller), please use the options to request this and provide name details in check out comments and where you want on rear of tag or tin.
Photos are examples only and price is for one. Tags have been lightly polished however original material light scoring is visible and is standard part of the hiduminium product. Approx 5x4cm.
Don’t miss out on this incredible opportunity to own a piece of this amazing material used to construct these stunning aircraft.
