Reclaimed Merlin Helicopter Keyring / Luggage Tag

Used either as a keyring or a luggage tag for a bag the Reclaimed Merlin Tag is made from material reclaimed from the airframe of the Merlin Helipcopter AW101 ZJ128HC.3 and is still covered in the original paintwork.

The Merlin helicopter was built for the RAF and first flown in 2001. AW101 ZJ128 was one of 22 helipcopters transferred to the Royal Navy's Commando Helicopter Force in 2012. As part of the transfer, ZJ128 was upgradded to the NC.4 standard to allow it to undertake shipborne operations. The material used for this tag was obtained during this upgrade and AW101 ZJ128 remains an active part of the Royal Navy's helipcopter fleet. 

A fantastic gift for the aviation fan. Each tag is numbered from a limited batch of 165.
