Many thanks!
The rest of your post answered
exactly all I was asking!
Apart from anything else, that
is a nice thing about PPRUNe. Ask a question, and you promptly get an answer!
As to the Coke and Tesco and Tennant cans.... and alu toothpaste tubes (do they still exist?) they're extruded from near-pure alu pellets. Too much other metals in there ruin the extrusion process (my Dad worked in that business, which, I admit, partially triggered my question
).
So, among other things, from what Donkey497 explained...
Not that much of F-BVFD (the one Concorde that was scrapped) ended up as Stella beer cans. Some of it even may still be flying around somewhere. Pleasing thought somehow.
