Rarest Piece Of Airline Memorabilia You Have?

New Zealand airline collectables

Hello,
I realise this thread is a few years old, but if anyone is still reading…
I collect NZ airline items and have decided to put together two books on the subject. One on postcards, the other on baggage labels, tags, stickers, chinaware etc. If you collect, I am keen to trade. I can find BOAC, BCPA and other airline items if you’re interested.

No I don’t have it and would love to see it !:D

I have a glossy booklet on Abbotsinch which I bought for 2/6 in July 68 when I was passing through there. There are a few colour photos in it but mainly black and white. The cover is loose but its still in good nick. I am going on leave on 13th October and if my flat is not rented by then I will dig it out of the attic and scan some of it for you (assuming you don’t already have a copy). I also have one of Manchester airport I bought there in 1969.

Obviously the above images are not to scale :rolleyes:

Last one is the “unrarest” as it were, a pair of Delta wings from the early 80’s given to me by my uncle (a left seater right now on the 757 or 767 I always forget which).

Here be an Il-62 pin. I can’t believe I forgot about these!

And a Tu-154 pin.

Some digging led to a few other items in my collection, so naturally I grabbed my camera 😀

Here’s the Tu-144 pin I mentioned.

what a shame i like the trident 1cs in red square

I have safety cards from the Continental DC-9, MD-80, 737-200, 737-300, 737-500 and Continental Express B-1900D, ATR-42, EMB-120 and EMB-145 as well as tons of other company trinkets from over the last 5 years. There are also aircraft manuals for COEX B1900D, ATR42/72, EMB-120 and EMB-145 on my shelf. The girlfriend has a Continental 737NG manual and Northwest A320 manual too. I also have some posters for the 100th ERJ delivery as well as the poster they used when they were the launch customer.

It was all aquired through legit means. 🙂 A lot of it was being thrown out as the different fleet types were being retired and the other stuff is from knowing the right people.

I have two Sabena timetables, two Sabena in flight magazines, a Sabena serviette, a Sabena chocolate wrapper, a VLM hand wipe (wrapped of course), two VLM serviettes, a VLM chocolate wrapper. Three Sabena models. A Concorde souvenir kit. My log book which I was given as a British Airways young flyer when I was five (with the registration and type of aircraft a Boeing 747-100).

I bought some Asabena stuff in April 2003, I boutgh a box with 1000 plastic forks and knives and other stuff in a plastic thing. You propably know these things. I also have a set of Business Class Sabena placemats but i dont use them (duuh).
I didnt “found” anything.

Rare airliner type items? Not usually my cup of tea, but I do have something this time. And I bet you all can guess what aircraft it represents… 😀

I’ve got a pin from the 1980 Olympic Games in Moscow. Not sure if it was an Olympic pin or an Aeroflot one, but it features the Olympic rings and a Tu-144S silhouette. The idea was to use the aircraft to fly VIPs and athletes (particularly Soviet ones) I believe. Dunno how rare it actually is, but it’s the best I can offer!

That is indeed a precious memo. SOC.:)

1911 edition of flight, BEA cocktail mixing card, Manx Airlines Juice Jug etc. BAe, Manx Airlines, Brit Regional Airlines and BA Citiexpress pilots wings (all earnt & worn by me!)

Safety Cards are always being tea-leafed – the bane of my life when I was Cabin crew. That said, if you ask the crew nicely, generally they’ll let you have it anyway – Hardly secret info! I gave a fair few away as well as sick bags (empty!)
