The interior of the 26 foot long cockpit has seen two rows of three seats placed across from one another with a glass table and bar stool by the side.

A second bar stool has been added up at the flight deck of the 1.5 ton plane, complete with throttle controls which now control the lights and panoramic windows.

The steely interior of the plane remains largely unchanged from its days of service, with exposed metal walls and ceiling and corrugated metal flooring throughout.

The incredible design was featured on George Clarke’s Amazing Spaces when homeowner Vince Essex spent just £750 to purchase the cockpit and a further £8,000 to transform it.
