Fascinating photos capture the inside of a Boeing 747 which travelled 150 miles to Greater Manchester - on the back of a lorry.
The top deck of the decommissioned British Airways plane was transported from Kemble, on the edge of the Cotswolds, to Salford, on its final journey. It set off about 9.30am and cruised along the M5, M6, M56 and M60, before arriving at Barton City Airport around four and a half hours later to rapturous applause on August 11.
Now its new owners have revealed it will be open to the public from next month. Airline memorabilia company Doors2Manual plan to eventually use 'The Deck', as it's been dubbed, as a backdrop for weddings and conferences and for educational purposes. It will also be the UK's only 747 flight simulator using a real aircraft flight deck.
