Dave Billings, a 45-year-old engineer from Derbyshire, UK, is making headlines for buying a decommissioned Boeing 737 fuselage through Facebook Marketplace. After buying the plane, he buried it 14 feet deep in his backyard to create a nuclear war bunker, which also doubles as his party pad.
Ultimate Man Cave
Billings bought the decommissioned plane fuselage for £4,000. Using it to create his ultimate man cave cost him an additional £50,000. He connected the plane to an existing maze of underground nuclear tunnels and secret rooms. Billings spent years digging beneath his home to create this setup. Inspired by the classic movie The Great Escape, Billings created his own hidden retreat.
To reach the underground plane, visitors first take a hidden elevator. The elevator’s shaft is disguised inside a traditional British red telephone box. The underground bunker also has its own ventilation system, solar panels, and a custom toilet connected to a septic tank. Billings says that he believes the bunker could keep his family safe and self-sufficient for months if a nuclear war ever broke out.
