Cracking idea!

There's a company in the States that will copnvert a time expired Boeing for you - I believe they can even put it on a rotating plinth so the aircraft always point into wind! Not sure how the services would get in (and out) of the aircraft, but I guess you might not want gas any way.

I've always harboured a desire to buy and convert a 747 - Master bedroom in the upper deck, leave the cockpit as is, preferably do one with a side cargo door which you'd turn into a picture window facing across the airfield to where all the warbirds park... They are certainly a lot wider than my house is; and I imagine there'd be space in the hold to park the car, assuming it's not too high!

Be magic, well until the corrosion set in!
