British Midland International (BMI) Tail Fin

British Midland International — better known as BMI — was a major UK airline operating from 1949 until its acquisition by British Airways in 2012. Based at East Midlands and later Heathrow, BMI was a staple of UK domestic flying and European routes. The distinctive blue livery with the red diamond logo was a familiar sight at airports across Britain for over six decades.

This handcrafted replica is 3D printed in full colour and fitted with a warm white LED strip that brings the tail fin to life. It stands freely on any flat surface — perfect for a desk, bookshelf, or display cabinet. Powered by a simple USB-A connection, just plug in and enjoy.
