Primera Air Nordic YL-PSD (now Jet2) 737-800 corroded fuselage skin tag

A very interesting find! These fuselage skin tags are from YL-PSD Boeing 737-800. It started its life with Czech in 2000. Through various airline moves it was transferred to Primera Air Nordic as YL-PSD in Jan-15. The Primera Group ceased operations in Oct-18 and the aircraft was returned to GECAS and stored at Woensdrecht, Netherlands.

 

It was re-registered LZ-GNB two weeks later and stored until it was sold to The Dart Group Plc (owners of Jet2) as G-DRTW and leased to Jet2.com in Mar-19. Current, updated 12-Feb-22.

 

In Feb-17 whilst still with Primera, the aircraft was ferried to East Midlands (UK) to be repainted. When the old paint was stripped off it was found that the aircraft had extensive corrosion. It ferried to Amsterdam in early Mar-17 for inspection and it was decided that the aircraft needed partial re-skinning. It was ferried to Norwich in mid Apr-17 for the work to be done... it was completed 10 months later and ferried to Manchester with most of the fuselage in primer to be repainted.

These tags are cut from the original aircraft corroded skin that was removed, full window sections shown in the photos and the reskinned aircraft can be seen in attached photos.

Photo is example only of tags, approx 6x4cm, chosen at random, price is for 1. Standard imperfections from paint removal and cutting.
