04:39UK: Boeing 747 bought for one pound turned into a party venue
A Boeing Jumbo Jet has been turned into a venue for parties and even weddings, as seen in Cotswold Airport in Gloucestershire on Wednesday.
The airplane, which was donated by British Airways was bought by CEO Suzannah Harvey for one pound, for transactional purchaces.
The process of converting the jet into a party venue was fairly extensive, as Harvey explains:"So the escape signs have all been decommissioned, all of the charged oxygen lines as well, obviously that's a fire risk."However the aircraft offered some benefits as a venue- "it's very well insulated as you can imagine being an aircraft and from the benefit of that as well it gives us great sound insulation so the acoustics in here are incredible."
The plane has been stripped of its seating and a bar, as well as disco lights, have been placed inside for events to take place.
The venue has had a ton of interest from people wanting to use the space, including for weddings.
The plane flew for more than 25 years, with a total of 13,398 flights, its last being on 6th April 2020 from Miami, Florida.
