British Airways jumbo jet transformed into Santa's winter wonderland

Christmas is just a few months away and, while we love a good Santa's Grotto, there's something new coming to the region this festive period. A former British Airways Boeing 747 is being transformed into a winter wonderland, where families will be able to jump aboard and meet Father Christmas himself.

With Bristol's aerospace history, it makes for a great surprise for all of the plane lovers - young and old- in the family. Father Christmas' Flight Before Christmas is set to land at Cotswold Airport during the run up to Christmas, Wiltshire Live reports.

From November 25 to December 24 the world's first 747 Christmas grotto experience will get underway at the private airport. The British Airways’ G-CIVB Boeing 747 ‘Negus’ has been based at Cotswold Airport near Kemble since October 2020 after it was decommissioned from service in early 2020.
