PYTCHAir is the name given to a Boeing 727 located in the Brislington Area of Bristol.
History[]
The aircraft was originally a Japan Airlines passenger aircraft which first flew in 1968. In time it was converted into a private jet and was operated by various owners including LarMag Aviaton.[1]
In 2020, it was purchased by activist-entrepreneur Johnny Palmer [1] with the intention of being transported to Bristol to be used as an office.[2][3] However, it was unable to move on the date planned due to unsuitable ground conditions.[4] In February 2021, it was transported by road to Bonville Road, Brislington.[5] As of November 2021, the fuselage is used by media company PYTCH as a meeting space and filming location.
The purchase,[6][7] challenges,[8] movement [9][10] and final location [11] of the fuselage attracted national and local media coverage
