Here’s a Cut-Up Boeing 727 Slowly Crawling Down the Motorway to Its New Home 2 Mar 2021, 12:53 UTC · by 8 photos Both these things happened in the UK the other day, when a decommissioned, cut-up Boeing 727 slowly made its way to its new home at a speed of about 20 mph (32 kph), causing traffic delays on the M5 and getting curious motorists to whip out their cellphones. It also got its own police escort because its size meant it took up two lanes of traffic. The story of this plane, dubbed Pytch Air, is just as fascinating as the sight of it. You can see a video of how it was moved from Cotswold Airport in Glouchestershire to Bristol, where it will be turned into an office building. The aircraft belongs to businessman Johnny Palmer, who bought the decommissioned plane in 2018 but just recently came up with the idea for repurposing it, according to the Express.
