This beautiful Rolls Royce RB211-524G2-T-19 fan blade last flew on former British Airways Boeing 747, G-CIVZ.  She left Heathrow for the last time on 18th October 2020 to Newquay for part out and scrapping.  
Close to the end of their lives too, the engines were scrapped.  Precious metals are normally recovered from the engine core and turbine stages but this first stage, titanium alloy blade was acquired by Aerotiques during the tear down process.  Polished and mounted on a brushed aluminium base, the blades have been mounted on COR-TEN weathering steel plinth, they are suitable for internal or external display.  COR-TEN is designed to ‘weather’, i.e. rust, then stabilise with a unique patina, which protects the material from further corrosion.  
Measuring approximately 420 x 370mm (16.5” x14.5”)  and 1800 (63”) tall overall.  A section of fuselage skin from G-CIVZ has been laser-etched with the aircraft and final flight details and attached to the stainless plate.
