Boeing 747 - SX-OAD

The Olympic flame now at Aviationtag!

Even if the Olympic Games don't start again until July, we are very pleased to be able to bring a piece of the Olympics home to you today in the form of an Aviationtag of our first Boeing 747-200.

As early as August 1979, the Boeing 747-200 with the Manufacturer's Serial Number (MSN) 21684 was registered as 9V-SQI and delivered to Singapore Airlines. The aircraft flew for the Asian airline for just six years before it was taken over by Olympic Airways in April 1985. With the new registration SX-OAD and the baptismal name "Olympic Flame", the Boeing 747 flew for 17 years. From January 2002 to December 2020 the aircraft was on display at Bruntingthorpe Museum.

Exciting - in 2006 the machine bore the fake registration G-ASDA while being painted in the colors of UK supermarket chain ASDA for marketing purposes.
