An aviation enthusiast has splashed out thousands of dollars to save the only- surviving cockpit of a rare 1960s car freight plane.

Marc Wilmott, 62, spent £4,200 ($5,243) moving the huge cockpit of a Carvair aircraft, one of 21 car ferry planes ordered by airline legend Sir Freddie Laker half a century ago.
