One of the most unique glamping sites ever created is about to get even more unique.
RAF Wainfleet, located in Friskney lincolnshire, already boasts some of the quirkiest accommodation around. An ex RAF control tower fully converted into luxury accommodation, a number of bunkers, and a converted Lynx Helicopter.
The site itself, RAF Wainfleet, was a weapons range that dates back to around 1890. During the second world war, the site was used as a training ground for the infamous Dambusters and since then has been used for target practice by a number of military aircrafts and helicopters. In 2010 it was closed and has now become home to some of the quirkiest accommodation in the UK.
Located in a registered nature reserve, the tower was the first accommodation available boasting stunning views in every direction and a holiday experience like no other. Since then the bunker accommodation has been added, and the 2 person Helipod became available to rent in the Summer of 2018.
The most recent addition to the site however, tops them all. Will Roughton, 41 year old farmer and owner of the site, has recently purchased an ex-45 Squadron aircraft with plans to convert it into accommodation for 4 people.
A great addition to the site, the military aircraft cost a hefty £25,000 with Roughton planning to spend a further £25,000 to complete its conversion into accommodation.
The front of the plane will feature a double bedroom, leading to a dining and sitting room located in the center of the plane, and two fold-down single bunks in the tail.
