With a double bedroom at the back and long leather sofa
behind the cockpit, the 1970s JetStar sleeps 4 people on a
campsite in Pembrokeshire. It joins a few other old planes -
like a jumbo jet in Sweden - that have been converted into
accommodation.
Still bearing original features, the plane, which would have
carried maximum nine passengers, comes with a bar area, an Xbox
with flight games in the cockpit, a toilet and a cold water
basin.
"It ticks quite a few different people's boxes," said Apple
Camping owner Toby Rhys-Davies, who bought the jet from a
salvage yard. "I've had all sorts of people staying from plane
enthusiasts to people who are scared of flying and then just
couples."
