It cost £20,000 to transport it to Scotland by road and the couple planned to spend £100,000 converting it into a £400-a-night B&B. Some of the original features of the cockpit have been retained in the refitted plane, which has a 92ft wingspan.Amber, who trained at Clydebank College, said: “The plane was sitting empty and I was joking with my parents saying it would make a great salon if you put a H in front of Air Atlantique. Then we came up with the idea of using it as my studio.
