Saying that the renovation of the hotel has never been stopped in recent years. . .
There are exciting events happening every day in different parts of the world. . . .
For example, those large and small, vigorous housing renovations - New technology was previously reported by Chanel invited Winy Maas to transform the old villa into a Crystal House, the young couple who did not want to be a house slave and irritated the bus, aspirations but lived in An American professor who reclaimed the trash. . .
These real and touching stories let us know that there are still such people in the world who have lived a completely different life through their own thoughts and actions. These stories are not only intriguing in their love for various machines and transformations. Men, as well as female compatriots filled with fantasy and romantic cells. . .
Today, Xiao Bian is going to introduce you to how Martyn Steedman, an uncle with the same dream, changed a retired British Royal Navy search helicopter into a family home that can accommodate 6 people at the same time.
The story is this: One day, the calm in Thornhill, Stirlingshire, England, was suddenly broken by a burst of jealousy.
This is the situation of God horse? A large helicopter came to the town!
However, it did not fly over but was pulled by a big truck. . .
The appearance of this helicopter caused a sensation in the entire town. Many residents ran out to watch this big guy. . . Finally, it was pulled onto the Mains farm and unloaded. The farm was owned by Martyn Steedman.
The helicopter turned out to be bought by Uncle Martyn. . . It was pulled over from Grantham, Lincolnshire, more than five hundred kilometers away, and was eventually placed on the farm.
This person said, can afford helicopters? Uncle Martyn is definitely a tyrant. . . In fact, he is just an ordinary farmer. Like many boys, Martyn particularly likes airplanes when he is a kid. All airplane-related books, magazines, TV shows, and exhibitions are his favorites. When he was very young, he would be able to fully comprehend the various models. ~
Although he eventually inherited and operated the farms left by his parents, he did not become a pilot. However, the uncle’s love of the aircraft has remained for so many years and never faded. . . Then two of his twins, Josh and Harry, were also hooked on the plane under his influence.
Let's look at the big helicopter Martyn bought. It is a genuine military aircraft named Sea King ZA127. BTW, it is 17 meters long. . .
This Neptune helicopter has been serving as the British Royal Navy since 1961 and is definitely the classic model.
Earlier this year, the Royal Navy of the United Kingdom specially arranged three Neptune helicopters that reached the end of their lives to perform their farewell missions. Many airplane fans and military enthusiasts are waiting for the event all over Scotland. . . How could our Uncle Martyn not participate in this flight over his own home?
Saying that such a farewell flight is a ritualistic thing in the UK is like the veteran retired farewell ceremony. . . Therefore, it is often very important in many British people's minds.
The area they flew this time was mainly in the west of the Scottish Highlands—including Stirling County, Edinburgh, Glasgow, and Ayrshire—and where these helicopters searched and rescued missing and wounded people while in service. Let's look at this flight with Xiaobian first:
This was an airplane flying over Glasgow, a city that Xiaobian liked very much.
Many people take their children to watch and say goodbye to these departing planes. . .
Fly over the beautiful Loch Lomond. . .
Many people have already gathered at the North Pier in Aoban, waiting and enjoying these planes. . .
Fly over the steeple of St. John's Church~
As they flew over Lake Gareloch, the aircraft, which were to be decommissioned, were honoured by the Honor Guard of the Faslane Naval Base tugboat.
Fly to the uncle's hometown! This is how they fly over Stirling Castle~
Then they flew over the Wallace Monument again, where the uncle saw the plane he later bought himself!
Of course, the planes must come to Edinburgh Castle to pay tribute to the Scottish capital.
After all, the Sea King ZA127 is an old search-and-rescue helicopter that had been retired from the front line in 1994. By 2002, it had been diligently working as a training machine for new pilots. After the flight was over, they were also placed on the auction website of the Ministry of National Defense for auctions.
The "Neptune" helicopter is also Martyn's favorite model. But he knew that most of the planes were eventually dismantled by some machinery manufacturers. Martyn was a little sad. In his mind, the airplanes that had been serving their motherland for the rest of their lives should not be disassembled into parts. Are they not like veterans? It should be safe to live in the old age and let it go.
At the time, Martyn sat in front of the computer, staring at the auction page of the auction site for a long time, and then. . . He involuntarily made a price - 7,000 pounds. He thought he could only buy a plane wheel at the end of his own price. but. . . The miracle happened! He kept staring at the page of the plane he was bidding for, and no one had ever overcharged the baby until the end of the auction!
Just like a person's fate is indefinite, the retired Neptune ZA127 helicopter is now Uncle Martyn! ! !
When Martyn and the family said, "I bought a helicopter," his wife, Louise, and a pair of sons thought he was joking. Goose. In a few days, the painted helicopters were washed away. It was shipped to Martyn’s farm from more than five hundred kilometers. . .
The family can no longer describe it with joy! Look at their joyful look and you will know~
When the Hummer helicopter was delivered, it was very old. All control equipment in the cabin is also a piece of oil, and there are oil stains everywhere in the cracks. But all this could not resist the joy of the uncle's heart. . . OK, this is a genuine military helicopter.
In order to transform this Neptune helicopter into its own satisfactory result, Uncle Martyn bought a manual on mechanical repairs for Neptune Helicopter from scratch.
Uncle while operating the instructions in the book. Although it is a temporary cramming, it is also doing my favorite thing ~
During the renovation, the outside of the plane was also fenced off. .
Together with his wife, Louise, he re-inserted the internal curved cabin walls with insulated, sound-insulated pine wood. All the windows were replaced with double-glazing with sliding rails.
The Amazing Spaces, a British Channel 4 TV program, recorded the complete transformation of Neptune.
After the Martyn's husband and wife's up to six months of transformation, the entire aircraft has been completely different. . .
The duo have preserved the appearance of the aircraft while also remodeling the interior to be both warm and playful. They not only added furniture to the cabin, connected water and electricity, but also made a wood outside the helicopter's door. Ramp.
Renovated interior, bedroom, living room, washroom, kitchen, observation deck. . . One is a lot.
The aircraft was equipped with a triple bed, a double bed and a single bed. This is the couch facing the cabin entrance.
This sofa is opened and put down, and it becomes a bed.
The right hand side of the door was originally a sonar station on the Sea King helicopter. It was completely removed by Martyn and donated to the Helicopter Museum. The empty space was transformed into a simple bathroom and a mini-kitchen.
The kitchen is really small. . .
But doing something simple to eat and drink is enough~ Have you seen the oven in the lower right corner? On the other side of the kitchen is a small curved rack.
The husband and wife also put wine, bread machines, hot water bottles and small green plants on this layered shelf.
The cab's instruments, panels, and consoles all stayed. This greatly satisfies Martyn's desire to manipulate children who have always had a childhood dream. He finally got enough aviator addiction!
The seat was removed and replaced by a small bar.
Sitting here, looking out from the wide front window, you can enjoy the beautiful English countryside scenery. You can sit here on a rotating chair and watch the beauty of the distance while enjoying a glass of fine wine.
Of course, the transformed plane was also rightly the coolest big toy for Martyn's sons. Harry will also invite the children's shoes in the class to come. Although the cabin is not big, it is more than enough for the little friends to have a party!
These curious infants are excited every time they come in. What they like most is the control panels that are populated with various buttons.
Look at the other side of the cabin on the other side of the technology-rich living room. This warm U-shaped sofa is a small space full of parties. There is a small wooden room. At night, it becomes a triple bed and a single bed.
Harry said he is very satisfied with this space~
BTW, from the position of the single bed, is purple:
The helicopter's propeller's defect, but how can it be difficult to live Uncle Martyn? He scouring the bamboo raft and installing it, basically the same as the original ~
Uncle Martyn likes to turn on the lights at night. The lights are on both inside and outside of the fuselage. From afar, it looks like he has a new life. He will soon take off to the heavens to perform the task!
Paul Southering, the auction commissioner of the Department of Defense, said: “Buyers can transform it into a hotel or tourism project. Apart from flying in the sky, they can arbitrarily transform it.†And in order to refit the aircraft, almost spent Uncle Martyn 4 Million pounds (about 330,000 yuan). . . This is not a small sum for the Martyn family who are ordinary farmers.
But Martyn finally rounded his delicate and heart-warming dream. He said that he finally let the military plane retired like a dignified veteran, returning to the fields in the rural landscape, and also played a warm-up. . . All this is not something that can be measured by money. . .
Because of the fate and bought the plane, Martyn said this is the most correct and happy thing he has done.
After the renovation is completed, two couples are full of joy and pride:)
Now, the Martyn family is enjoying their unique "hometown treasure".
But lately, there are still passing people who can't believe that the farm here is really listening to a military helicopter. . .
In the spring of next year, Martyn will open the plane into a formal homestay. Rates start from £150. He said, "We very much hope this aircraft will bring a new atmosphere to our country. We have created a new niche tourism project. We believe that the helicopter holiday home is definitely a novel and creative place."
He hopes that more people like him who love airplanes, love creativity and love life will visit and accompany this "vulner" to experience this place full of his childhood dreams.
May we each be inspired and inspired by the story of the little boy with dreams and the big boy with memories. . .
In the summer of next year, Xiao Bian will spend a month or so in Britain. This will also be the tenth anniversary of my last internship and travel to the UK. I'm so excited.
At that time, Xiao Bian will also have to go to Sterling to experience this helicopter modified by Uncle!
So... is it about?
