Half crazy
But really cool - Brit lives on airplane engine

Engineer Steve Jones decided to innovate in his passion for aerial machines. He simply built a trailer on the empty nacelle of an old Rolls Royce Conway jet engine.
This engine was used in the Vickers VC-10 models and their military variants and also in the Boeing 707-420, this was a series of the cult North American four-engine equipped with British engines built specifically for BOAC.
Steve completed the project last year but is still unable to camp on its creation due to the pandemic. He spent more than a thousand hours on the project and now plans to make an even bigger one, with two floors, based on the nacelle of a 747.
Success!!
