The PRICE I paid £190 for one night!

Imagine playing a good flight sim on that tv looking out the cockpit lol

This beast was used by 653 squadron who were formed during WW2 and it served in Belize, Canada, Ethiopia and Norway and also Northern Ireland during the troubles. Im in no way connected to the army. Im just pretty good at googling and i was bored haha. I also thought I owed Tim a favour for all the great content hes provided us over the past few years. Cheers TimbeGimble 🙌

I stayed in the USS Yorktown in Charleston with the scout troop my grandson was in. We were given officer’s quarters, just for us. The kids loved having the run of the ship. I was VERY impressed with the quality of the construction. Everything seemed original, and worked as well as WWII, when it was built. It was as if it could have sailed away at any moment. Made me proud. We watched a film in the theater, ate in the same place soldiers ate, went up on the flight deck(windy!), where various aircraft are on display. We wandered around the bridge. Lots of memorabilia have been left in place. I’ve stayed in many places, but this was the most exciting. Well worth your attention.

Flown in many a Lynx during time spent in Northern Ireland with the Army. Seeing that helicopter brought back some great memories. Thanks for sharing my friend

I used to fly helicopters many moons ago. Shame they had to remove the controls and the OHCP. The blades are pretty sharp and they removed the rear tail rotor as these can be lethal as well! I suspect the main rotor is locked in place as they can spin with the wind if the locking pins are not used (Called windmilling). There wasn't much room in a standard one unless you had a Chinook or a Westland SAR configuration. Air con wasn't fitted as all you did was open the side flaps to cool off! To be honest I am surprised they didn't give you a safety check list as it still retains it's blades. I have a idea that particular one was used a MediVac. That one is of Type AH7 (AH1). Last recorded flight was 31st July 2015. Built in 1982 for the AAC. Covered 36K flying hours. 2540 TO/LS (Ambiguous)

Like the ex-prison, crane, plane etc. & always interesting. Imagine telling the crew & soldiers who once flew in it, "One day, guys - this will be a place to stay in"; they would think you were insane 😊

You saying that the loos were nice reminds me of when my Nan went to my school to see a play and said, "The toilets are beautiful!" lol

These unusual lodgings are a lot of fun! Also, if you forget a pillow again you can stuff your sleeping bag bag with some clothes.

Hi from Andrew, Alberta, Canada!! Love your videos!

I had visions of someone would be flying it with you sleeping in it lol.. great video 👍

Absolutely love your videos! Not exploring the country as much as I did when using a family railcard, when kids traveled for just a pound! Your videos remind me so much of the adventures I had with my children, homegrown and foster children, so many memories made!!

Sweet tim nice review and I love them pods too and them little sheds please try pod next time if you can can't wait 4 price for 1 night

Would be cool if they had it on a bit of a hill overlooking the campsite , it would look great up high . The only downside i think would be so many of the other campers or kids constantly walking around it for a look

I know im a little late to the comments but, I found what this helicopter was originally used for. Helicopter Westland Lynx AH1 Serial 241 Register (XZ676) used by Army Air Corps AAC (British Army). It was built in 1982.

Looks a great sunny day nice vlog Buddy interesting idea

Loved this! Woudn't want to stay in it during a hot summer though, be like getting into a hot car. Still I never would have thought! Thanks for the education Tim!

Port lympne near Ashford looks fun. You can stay in a beautiful wigwam in the safari park run by the Aspinall foundation. I bet Casper would love it.

BlackBerry wood Hassocks, Sussex has clamping in tree houses,a fire engine, a bus, gypsy caravan, airstream caravan, gypsy caravan, wild and woodland camping. We went woodland camping, it was great having a fire and so secluded. Next time we'd love to try one of the unusual clamping accommodation, would love to see your a review of this place.

I like that one.Happy Days Retro Vacations, Saxmundham, Suffolk does airstream caravans too rent and the kent and East Sussex railway rents out railway wagons and coaches.might be good to try some time.

Thank you Tim for another interesting video. Most enjoyable, although I think it’s very expensive considering there is nothing provided. Love your car 🚗 especially the colour. The helicopter is a 1982 model. Flown by the British Army Air Corps. All the best from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺

I’m glad these places exist and I’d consider taking my two boys there one day, for a night only as I don’t think the lack of a toilet (with my bladder) would be a good idea for myself. I also imagine in the summer too hot and raining too noisy. Those pods looked great though and I would definitely fancy trying those out, especially with the views of the lake. The only slight criticism Tim, how much did you pay ? As you’re always good for telling us about the pricing of these types of places.

i take my own toilet with me for night use. it has its own tent so it stays outside on the pitch. very good thing to have.

Thanks for your video on your helicopter stay,so unusual,hope you enjoyed your stay.Thankyou for another excellent vlog.

I`m impressed, and it`s clean. Look`s like a nice park.

Those pods by the lake worth a stay at Tim😉

The helicopter is a Westland Lynx AH.7 built in 1982 withdrawn from use 2013 at Middle Wallop in Hampshire

The copter should play the ‘A-team’ music everytime you open the door.

Helicopter Westland Lynx AH1 Serial 241 Register XZ676 used by Army Air Corps AAC (British Army). Built 1982.

Omg that is so bizarre but cool at the same time. Wow.

I flew in these during my time serving in Northern Ireland. Taking us to boarder checkpoints Sometimes flying low what was called hedge hopping.

Love it, enjoy these quirky overnight locations.👍😁

Love this because my father worked for Westland helicopters in Yeovil back in the days. The Lynx was one of my favourites. Must admit never seen this kind of interior 😄

This is very cool and totally different. I would definitely stay there being a bit of a helicopter fan

Now that looks fun. You'll have to go back to experience one of the cabins.

Brings back memories for me. So weird to see how it's been converted. In the 90s they were the fastest helos in the world. Might still be if they're still in service.

Wow that would be a great experience to try . Looks fun

Great that Tim, loved it. I would stay in it, but not in August. 😅 xx

Great reviews thanks for your time :-)

I've said it before but would love you to experience the highway man inn on dartmoor

Good video and nice Lynx to other videos at the end.

This is so cool! I love seeing these unusual places you can stay in!

2:15 yep sure can!!! You can find pictures and videos of it when it was still in use to

Love your channel and all the unusual places you have visited in the past few months. Not sure i would call this glamping, but it certainly is interesting!

What an experience, thanks for another unique vlog. xx

Fantastic idea beautiful place there with the water that's a experience Tim thanks

Ooo i would love to see more glamping options and inspiration ❤ Hope you share some more

Enjoy your stay in helicopter Tim fromAndrewmay in yarmouth

It’s amazing to think here at the Ulster avation society we have XZ666 and that is XZ676

Great content thanks for sharing 😄

That was great I would fancy the pods next to the water..thanks

Tim we need you to do more unusual places to stay. I loved this one Thankyou.

Wow, wasn't expecting a helicopter! Not going to lie, really would need a loo on board personally but can imagine ot makes a great quirky stay for some. Whatever next Tim?!

Thanks Tim very interesting and unusual something different looking forward to the next Yvonne 😊

i use to cycle past that everyday when I would go to work, and I was always fascinated by it, so I'm glad I saw your video buddy.

Camp Katur, near Bedale. Lovely pods with en suite!

That was so cool I’d love to stay in there! The site looked nice too and clean toilets. Those pods and domes look amazing too. Great video 😊

What a nice place. It looks perfect for relax.😀👍👍

Tim I’m starting to worry if there’s anywhere you haven’t stayed lol! Love eliott and issie

Me and my 4 year old watching and we're both amazed! He said he does like your sleeping bag & 'did he have sausages and spaghetti hoops in that microwave' 😂 Thanks for showing us Tim!

Great video Tim I am liking your unusual videos they are certainly different I would of not even thought of staying in a lynx helicopter but might do now

Oh it was a Helicopter 🚁 I wouldn't of guessed it right! 😂I really wasn't sure. I didn't think there was room at all in a Helicopter!

Hello Tim 😊This was a great idea. And good for a gift for someone who loves planes 😊👍👍👍👍

With that red striped sweater and your starry sleeping bag, I was getting real Evel Knievel vibes.

That is a cool place to stay. I think you have the best job on YT Tim. You have worked out a way to put up cool vids and spend your whole life on holiday !....rEspect !

Hi Tim. You are reaching new heights with your unusual stays. I love them. Can't wait to see what unusual one will be next maybe a submarine.

Got it wrong about it being a van but its a novelty for a bed for the night. Pity it didn't have a porto loo next to it to save the run to the local loo.

My life is now complete,Superb Tim 👍😉💪

I keep looking at helicopters to add to our glamping site. But the initial outlay just for the airframe is about £20K, Then you need to have it properly converted. It's an idea, and one I'm sure we'll get to one day. Tim, if you want to glamp in a back to basics bell tent, near Hastings, drop me a line 👍👍

it's different that's for sure, even though looks like it's done out to britannia hotels standard - i'm glad you do these things so we dont have to ~)

That was cute but my camping days are over lol. Grandchildren would love it though 😍

The helicopter is cool but glamping for me requires a toilet lol!

Awesome Video Tim! Would love to see a house tour one day!

I would imagine that it would be popular for armed forces veterans like myself who have flown on these beauties back in the eighties. The fastest rotary wing aircraft and still in service.

Had the pleasure of being Cabbied around in these when in service. 😂

Great video! You would make a great seasonal travel presenter on the BBC or ITV. Those stationary helicopters are a unique lodging, although I have seen converted train carriages turned into holiday accommodations, mostly in Devon.

Nice One Tim 👍. Wonder What "Rambo" Would Say About His Helicopter🤣🤣.

I saw that on ebay, someone finally bought it I guess?

Very interesting choice,you are very adventurous!Great video as usual.Also shirt with stripes is pretty cool! Your devoted fan from America

Hi Tim found your channel recently really enjoy it.

Lot of fun

And the added bonus that if you don't like the location, you can just take off.

There’s a hotel in my hometown that has beach hut suites you can stay in right on the seafront they look super nice would be interested to see what you think of them and value for money? Beachcroft Hotel in Felpham

My days of trekking to the toilet block are well over. Although I might get fit.

Nice and creative as always tim!

Pods look fab !

What a brill experience, thank you for sharing it with us because at them prices, i'd probably never get to see it!

Can you please stay in a converted old railway carriage , I belive there are quite a few as round the country

Haha! We stayed in this helicopter as a family of 4 a couple of years ago! It was a bit of a squeeze but the site is great and brilliant fun for one night.

Hi that was an excellent video and wow staying in a Helicopter. I would rather stay in a hotel than go glamping. Thank you for making this video and I really enjoyed it.

WOW! Look at that size of the helicopter 😲 that's crazy Tim

I think one night would be enough...especially due to having to get out to go to the toilet! 😮 it did look cosy though, there are some converted train carriages somewhere between Scarborough and Robin hood's bay perhaps you can give them a try?

Hiya Tim,what a fantastic place to stay in ,who thought a helicopter would be a place you can stay in,great vlog and did enjoy stay in helicopter,thanks Tim,love your room reviews and cool places to stay in.take care

Oh my god! I need to book this for my daughter’s next birthday! She recently did a piloting course with areobility and has fallen in love with aviation!

Hello Tim,this was a different one, sleeping in a Lynx helicopter, decent space for what it is,quite a big bed to sleep.

Sorry to be pedantic but it's not a former Lynx helicopter, it continues to be a Lynx, it's a former military Lynx helicopter.

Hi Tim nice to see you in the Lancashire area ☺️

I bet there fully booked for the rest of the year after folks have seen your video there must be a huge demand for these sort of places there great for a large family get together and like days gone by you make your own entertainment. I live not far from Sherwood Forest and there is quite a few of these camp sites all over and there very popular with folks from the south maybe they don't have many green spaces. The vast majority of them are open all year round one of them used to be an old Army camp that has now been converted.

😲 I'd didn't imagine the Helicopter was near Blackpool either! You got a nice sunny day near Blackpool Tim! Love the woodlands & the yellow fields nearby! That Helicopter still looks so small close up to sleep in! Presumably it's an Helicopter with some History! A key to the Helicopter & a patio with Table & Chairs😂 That's certainly abit different! A cockpit Living Room! Amazing how a Microwave, Mini Fridge & Kettle with electricity like you say & a Little sink! Amazing how you can compact everything into such alittle space! Hope you get that TV working! Looks like a cosy Crash Mat you are sleeping on! Reminds me of the Apparatus at Primary School in PE with the Cosy Crash Mat! It was the same Royal Blue Colour too! Oh no, no Shower & Toilet in the Helicopter! But very novel the Washing Machine, Toilets & Showers & Sinks in a different place, basic but functional! Toilets winning Platinum Awards must be Clean!! Lovely lake & views about! I like the Little Log Pods! Lovely decking with the Pods. The glass pod looks nice waking up to that view from inside the glass pods! Amazingly you do look rather cosy in the Helicopter at nighttime! It was a long way to go to the Toilet in the middle of the night tho!!! So funny seeing the back of the Microwave in the Helicopter window In the Cockpit. Certainly abit of a unique experience there Tim!🚁🚁☀️

Another superb video Tim 👍the empty caravans are those people who keep it on site permanently, kind of in storage.( Used to be a caravanner myself,blocking roads etc😉😜) All the best to you, Gabby and Thumps! From me, Wayne in Stoke 👍
