Airline seats anywhere?

Does anyone know where I might be able to get hold of
a second hand airline passenger seat?. I'm re-branding
Air India as part of my Design Degree, and a seat
would be a nice touch!. Not having much luck scouring
the net, hopefully until now!

Contact a freight outfit that flies converted airliners.
They will often sell the seats they remove from the aircraft.
I know of one outfit, here in the states, that sells the three-abreast
coach seats and the two-abreast first-class seats.

Like other suggestions, call around to places that do conversions and
such. When I was looking I found several places online but they were
all in the US, not the UK. I ended up buying one from Kelowna
Flightcraft (local they do 727, convair and 37 work and conversions).
They weren't cheap though. I got a 2 wide executive class leather with
the inflatable rafts and flight mags and safety cards etc etc and they
wanted $350 USD.

Also, you might try eBay, I saw a few examples on there (again not in
the UK)

Rafts? Or just life jackets? $350?

Jackets and rafts, they had a huge warehouse of 727 parts and a whole
aisle of seats. The guy was really good about it. Yes $350 we ended up
getting them for $500 cdn including tax back when the dollar was alot
weaker.

The let us have all the rafts and jackets we wanted because they had
expired, pretty useless after that. They more than likely still work
but you can't put them in a plane.

In one of the "Ask the Pilot" columns on Salon.com, Patrick Smith mentions
"Plane World" near the Miami airport as selling seats from an Eastern L-
1011 for $550.
