There's half a dozen or so in a field in Co Durham apparently awaiting the same treatment.

Tashengurt - they dont rust?
So he spent £7000 in the auction to acquire it, £7000 to transport it to his garden, £26000 to do it up! £40k for a shed!

I have been retired over 20 years, but worked on Sea King equipment years before I retired.

Hotel Costa Verde, Costa Rica...
The 1965 Boeing was transported from a plane graveyard in San Jose to the Costa Rican jungle, and nestled on a 50-foot pedestal. The luxurious hotel is full with hand-carved Indonesian teak furniture and two air-conditioned bedrooms, an ocean-view terrace and some wild neighbours like sloths and monkeys.....
