British Caledonian Tail Fin

A tribute to Scotland’s own international airline. British Caledonian Airways — known affectionately as BCal — operated from 1970 to 1988, flying from Gatwick with its unmistakable blue and gold Scottish lion rampant livery. BCal was the largest independent airline in the UK and a fierce rival to British Airways before the two eventually merged. For many Scottish travellers, BCal was their airline, and the lion rampant tail was a source of real pride.

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.
