You may not have had the opportunity to try a little nip and tuck yourself, but there's still hope as today, Bonhams auctioneers will be selling off parts of this recently retired fleet of white birds.

If you're an aeronautical techie with a bit of dosh, check out the machmeter (£3-5,000). Or what about a captain's seat (£1-1,500)? And if you're really skint, with Christmas coming and all that, there's a Merino lambswool blanket that can be yours for just 40-60 quid.

The sale starts at 3pm, so my advice to you, take the afternoon off and go get yourself a piece of history.
