Aviation enthusiasts have a novel way to feed their hobby without even taking to the skies – sleeping in a decommissioned private jet in Wales.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt ticks quite a few different people\u2019s boxes,\u201d said Apple Camping owner Toby Rhys-Davies, who bought the jet from a salvage yard. \u201cI\u2019ve had all sorts of people staying from plane enthusiasts to people who are scared of flying and then just couples.\u201d\u2014Reuters<\/p>\n
