BA pilots given recycled G-BNLJ
I see BA are handing out commemorative 100 years keyrings recycled from the fuselage of a retired 747 (G-BNLJ) in a special box and a note from Alex Cruz as a thank you gift for their hard work. They look really cute! 
Does anyone know if BA will be selling any of these or giving them out to frequent flyers?
Has anyone here got one?

I There are more than one scrapped B744 being used to make theses key rings and they are all individual, we have two here.
I don’t think they will be given to anyone but current staff but I’m told that they are already available on EBay.

There are quite a few on eBay already if you want one at a vastly inflated price.

My pilot friends were yesterday presented with a pretty unique gift: a key-ring made from the fuselage of G-BNLJ. Suspect some might end up on eBay, but I’m pretty sure these will be well coveted on this forum!

Should point out it’s being given to all employees. The Mrs has received hers too.
I find it harsh that some have already tossed theirs on eBay. Same with the Xmas bauble of a couple of years ago: yes, it doesn’t change my opinion of the company or its leadership but I would’ve kept mine had I received one.

I wonder if Aviation Tag or a similar company will now be able to manufacture similar tags in the future from recycled BA fuselages for sale to the general public.
