Collect a piece of aviation history: authentic material from an iconic Boeing 747 available now!

Taking to the skies is a common feature of our lives today, but there was a time when catching a flight was an extravagant luxury. When it was built, the Boeing 747 revolutionized the airline industry as the first jumbo jet. Carrying more seats at a lower cost, the plane allowed the average person to experience the thrill of flight.

Known as the Queen of the Skies, this specimen is a fragment of the horizontal stabilizer of a 747 that was in service to Aer Lingus for 16 years. Designated EI-BED and also known as St. Kieran/Ciarán, this 747 was one of hundreds of planes that took to the skies during the Golden Age of Air Travel. EI-BED left service in 1995 and was scrapped the following year.

Frequently asked questions

What part of the Boeing 747 is in this collectible?

The specimen is a fragment of the horizontal stabilizer from Boeing 747 EI-BED, an aircraft that served Aer Lingus. Also known as St. Kieran or Ciarán, EI-BED spent 16 years with the airline before leaving service in 1995 and being scrapped the following year.

What makes a Boeing 747 fragment an interesting aviation gift?

The Boeing 747 was the first jumbo jet and helped make long-distance air travel accessible to more passengers. This specimen connects that broader aviation story to one identified Aer Lingus aircraft. It is a small piece of actual aircraft material rather than a scale-model airplane.

Is this a piece of an aircraft wing?

The listing specifically identifies the material as coming from EI-BED's horizontal stabilizer, a component of the aircraft's tail assembly. Calling it a horizontal-stabilizer fragment preserves that more precise provenance instead of describing it generally as a wing fragment.

Who would appreciate the Aer Lingus Boeing 747 specimen?

It suits pilots, aviation enthusiasts, airline professionals, Aer Lingus followers, and collectors of transport history. It is a distinctive birthday, retirement, graduation, or career-milestone gift for someone whose interests or working life connect to passenger aviation.
