New York Post • • world
Key Points:
- Engineer Dave Billings purchased a scrapped Boeing 737 fuselage for £4,000 and buried it 14 feet underground at his Derbyshire home to create an underground war bunker and party pad.
- The fuselage will connect to a larger nuclear bunker with tunnels, secret rooms, and entrances, designed to keep his family off-grid for months if needed.
- The project, inspired by the film The Great Escape, includes plans for a lift hidden in a red phone box, electricity, water supply from a borehole, solar panels, and a converted plane toilet.
- Although the bunker has survival capabilities, Dave emphasizes it is primarily a fun, unique space for parties and relaxation, with an estimated total cost exceeding £50,000.
- Dave documents the build on his YouTube channel and aims to complete the project by February, with plans to apply for retrospective planning permission.
