Isn't that a bit risky? Is the idea that his YouTube popularity will mean the council won't say no?

Also, Bmibaby, what a blast from the past

A 737 fuselage is made of aluminum, which will corrode with rain, salts, and sulfates present in most soils.

Ouch - I hope he's got a few channel fans on local council and doesn't get bitten on the regs.

Heh. My partner has to put up with my ideas of digging up the driveway into a trench laying down containers and then putting a new driveway on top.

"The first friend he discussed the idea with told him it was "silly", so he went to his seven-year-old son for guidance."

This is the best feedback he could get to be sure it will run well you YT.

The planning permission situation could end up being more interesting than the actual construction..

How long until someone in Reddit points out at asphyxiation hazard, fire hazard, and the fact that the plane used to transport dangerous chemicals?
