Derbyshire engineer Dave Billings has buried a decommissioned Boeing 737-500 fuselage in a 14-foot-deep pit beneath his garden, after buying it on Facebook for £4,000. He plans to connect the aircraft to an underground bunker he has spent years building, with tunnels, concealed rooms and a lift hidden inside a red phone box. The project, which has cost at least £50,000, is intended as a family party and entertainment space, but Billings says it could also serve as a fallout shelter, with power, water and ventilation to help his family live off-grid for an extended period.
