New uses for old airframes

[Tin basher]

For a long time there was an old Lightning next to the A1 just sitting there rotting gently away but now it seems people are finding new uses for old frames. So this tired old Jetstream, which I may have twirled a spanner on, is now an air BnB venue. Any other old RAF frames, you know of, now in use for other purposes??

Not an old RAF airframe but there's a 747 near Stockholm Arlanda airport that's a hotel.

Definitely worked on it at Leeming and Finningley.

My daughter in law and grandson stayed in an old Lynx AirBnB a couple of years back. Cosy... but fun for him.

There is a place that does glamping in a Sea King in Scotland. Sorry to disappoint the SAR boys, it is an old HAS 5 (latterly 6) from the Fleet Air Arm.

Nice to see the B&B Wetdream having some 'semi-17(F) Sqn' cushions to brighten the pad up.
