Jan. 31 (UPI) —<\/span> A retired 747 passenger plane purchased for less than $2 underwent more than $600,000 worth of renovations to transform it into a museum and party venue at a British Airport.<\/p>\n

Suzannah Harvey, chief executive of England’s Cotswold Airport, purchased the former British Airways passenger jet for $1.35, and the plane then underwent $627,000 worth of renovations, including turning a portion of the vehicle into a bar and dance hall.\n<\/p>\n

The plane, which made its final landing at the airport in 2020, was redecorated with the Negus livery that British Airways featured in the 1970s and 1980s.<\/p>\n

The airport said the plane isavailable for event bookings, with the first events scheduled to take place in February.<\/p>\n

Public tours are also being booked for the rest of the plane, which was transformed into a museum space.<\/p>\n

“We want to share her with everyone in the local community and local educational institutions, as well,” Harvey told the BBC.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
