PYTCHAir is the name given to a Boeing 727 located in the Brislington area of Bristol. The aircraft was originally a Japan Airlines passenger aircraft which first flew in 1968. It was converted into a private jet and operated by various owners including LarMag Aviation.[2]
It was purchased in 2020 to be used as an office. The relocation was delayed until February 2021, when it was transported by road to Bonville Road, Brislington.[3] As of November 2021[update], the fuselage is on display and used as an office, filming location and is available for charity events.[4] It has been featured as a “quirky" and "cool" office.[5][6]
In March 2022 the fuselage was covered in street art by Bristol street artsists Harriet Wood, Curtis Hylton and Hasan Kamil.[7] The art work drew media attention.[8]
