RAWTAG was founded in 2023 by a British commercial pilot and based on the ethos of an original venture called AuroraAeroTags. Working with collectors around the world via a Facebook based collectors group and selling via Etsy, it has gone from strength to strength with some very unusual tags being produced. 

Specialising in hand-produced, small batch tag runs and aiming to obtain the rarest material available.

Each piece is produced individually using the same lightly worked techniques aiming to preserve as closely as possible the ‘In-service’ condition. Simply cut and shaped, smoothed to be hand safe, wiped with a sanitising fluid and mounted on a display card.

RAWTAG never applies a surcharge for tag variants. Your tag will be unique to you! Some are offered as a regular tag with backing card, others are offered as a Deluxe box with additional items. Be sure to check the listings for some of the rarest tags available today.

Description

RAWTAG #01: SARO SKEETER AOP12

Grab yourself a piece of GENUINE 1957 SARO Skeeter Rotor Fabric!
Limited edition of just 60 pieces.

These unusual are made from actual Skeeter rotor fabric removed from a main rotor prior to restoration. This primitive machine used metal spar rotors with wooden ribs and fabric covered skin. So different to the modern composites on current helicopters.
The Skeeter served with the British Army in the 1950’s and was one of the first generation production helicopters. Underpowered, but delightful to fly.

The Tags are individually numbered by hand and set in a plastic keyring. Attached to an attractive backing card. They are supplied simply cut, shaped and wiped clean. In service marks are left as they are. One side is still retaining the camouflage green paint it was finished with, the other shows the weave of the fabric and the tightening dope glue application.

Once gone, they are truly gone. Just sixty have been produced and there is no more fabric left.

Carry this piece of British Army early generation helicopter history with you or add to your tag collection, for a very sensible price!
