Buying Model Planes on-board

[Tonic Please]

There apparently is an airline (unknown), that you can buy a model of their aircraft (again - unknown) but you cannot buy it anywhere else. For example: In a shop.

It is only purchaseable on-board.

If anyone has any knowledge of my question, then I would be thankful if you could let me know!

I flew Virgin Atlantic from LHR to LAX last year and they were selling a model of the Concorde in Virgin Atlantic livery. I would imagine they dont sell this in the shops!

Did you buy one? Be worth a few quid that soon.

I actually run the Southern England branch of "The Airline Shop". We stock many types of model INCLUDING Virgin Atlantic Concorde's in 1:100 scale. We also have many models which are normally only available on board i.e. Jet 2 plastic push fit models plus many more!
The Virgin Atlantic Concorde's are limited in number and were on offer recently so if you are interested then PM me.

I presume its plastic being that small. Can you get the concorde in Virgin livery in metal ? Gemini jets???

No, its actually a very big scale - 1:100 is the second biggest generally available (The biggest being 1:50) and they are not plastic. They are hand painted and are solid wood!

Thai sell little die cast models on board. Mine says made in Germany, I should imagine these are a fairly common toy just painted in the airlines colours as required, no rego just colour and logo. C of G not very good tips on its tail at the slightest disturbance, but then it is a scarebus.
