Boeing 727 that travelled along M5 to Bristol transformed after paint job

An old Boeing 727 plane in Bristol has been transformed after getting a vibrant new paint job. The decommissioned aircraft is owned by entrepreneur and property investor Johnny Palmer, who has turned the jet into an office and events space for his media company Pytch.

The plane - dubbed 'PytchAir' - was repainted by three mural artists - Hasan Kamil, Harriet Wood and Curtis Hylton. The art is inspired by the natural world, the surrounding area and the canvas on which it is painted, according to Mr Palmer, who said the artists used their "unique styles" to paint migratory birds, flowers and a portrait on the side of the unusual canvas.

Mr Palmer said: “I always wanted PytchAir to be a visual contribution to the Bristol creative arts scene and the perfect way to do this seemed to be to make an iconic piece of street art out of it. I am awesomely excited about this activity - almost as much as that weird day last year when PytchAir almost blocked a motorway!"
