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.[2] As of November 2021[update], the fuselage is on display and used as an office, filming location and is available for charity events.[3] It has been featured as a “quirky" and "cool" office.[4][5]
In March 2022 the fuselage was covered in street art by Bristol street artists Harriet Wood, Curtis Hylton and Hasan Kamil.[6] The art work drew media attention.[7]
In early 2024 it was added to Airbnb and has been referred to as the "coolest"[8] and "wildest"[9] property on the platform by various media outlets.
In January 2025 it was widely reported that the aircraft had been owned and used by Pablo Escobar.[10][11][12][13]
