Entering service on 29 September 1998, Victor Yankee served as a faithful workhorse for British Airways for over two decades, accumulating more than 90,000 flight hours across the globe. Her final year was one of profound significance; as the aviation world halted in 2020, she performed vital repatriation flights before her historic final departure from Heathrow on 8 October 2020. This model is cast from the reclaimed fuselage skin of that very airframe, preserving the physical legacy of the \"Queen of the Skies\" and the 50,000 \"Incredibles\" who first brought the 747 to life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"3\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eThe Founder’s Note\u003c\/b\u003e When I first held the raw aluminium recovered from G-CIVY, I was struck by the residual energy within the metal—a coolness that speaks of high-altitude crossings and a density that belies its graceful silhouette. Our design process is led by touch; we hand-polish every piece to ensure that when you run your thumb across the wings, you feel the precision of British craftsmanship. This mini model is weighted to feel significant in the hand, serving as a tactile bridge between the golden age of jumbo jets and the present day. It is not merely a replica; it is a preserved fragment of aviation history, refined into a piece of desk-top sculpture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,0,0\"\u003eHand-cast in the UK using reclaimed fuselage aluminium from G-CIVY\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,1,0\"\u003eVeteran-owned and operated brand\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,2,0\"\u003eSignatory of the Armed Forces Covenant\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,3,0\"\u003eSupplied in premium presentation packaging with a certificate of provenance\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,4,0\"\u003eMounted on a laser-engraved acrylic plinth paying tribute to the 'Oneworld' livery\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/b\u003e Reclaimed 747-436 aircraft aluminium (G-CIVY)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eBase Diameter:\u003c\/b\u003e 70mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eModel Height:\u003c\/b\u003e 30mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eEngine Type Ref:\u003c\/b\u003e Rolls-Royce RB211-524\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,4,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,4,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eManufacture Location:\u003c\/b\u003e United Kingdom\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,5,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,5,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eService History:\u003c\/b\u003e 1998 – 2020\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Icarus Originals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56974750417279,"sku":"IC62","price":64.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/8388\/1087\/files\/77a09d93-1000058064.jpg?v=1771350915","url":"https:\/\/icarusoriginals.com\/products\/747-436-g-civy-mini-model","provider":"Icarus Originals","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
