I Stay In A Lynx Helicopter! - WOW 

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 🙌

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

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

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 😊

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)

Love it when you say so causally "you've got everything you need in here, apart from a shower and a toilet". It sounds so normal yet is such a deal breaker for me it's absurd 😂

11:18 assuming you just needed a wee I'd have just wee'd on to the grass from the balcony!

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.

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

Great video, Tim. If you fancy a trip to Idaho, you can stay in a giant potato.

Need to do the domes next. Go back and book them.

Looks a great sunny day nice vlog Buddy interesting idea

Hi there what a good video keep up the good work

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.

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

Great reviews thanks for your time :-)

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

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 🇦🇺

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

love it!!!!🚁😆

See the country of Iran with me and enjoy the beautiful and historical places and good people❤❤❤

Amazing tim

Lot of fun

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

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

Pods look fab !

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

Those pods by the lake worth a stay at Tim😉

Seriously cool

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!!

Wow

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

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.

hello Tim hope things are well

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.

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

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?!

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.

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

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.

That was a quirky one! x J x

Really cool

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

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

I live in Blackpool and never knew this existed!

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

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

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!

What an experience, thanks for another unique vlog. xx

Finally we get to see your chopper

Hi Tim found your channel recently really enjoy it.

Very unique - enjoyed the vid

Love it, enjoy these quirky overnight locations.👍😁

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

Enjoy your stay in helicopter Tim fromAndrewmay in yarmouth

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

My life is now complete,Superb Tim 👍😉💪

Tim I really like your car!! Red is my favourite colour

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

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

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. 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.

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

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!

Great content thanks for sharing 😄

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.

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 !

That's very cool 😎

This is something you don’t see or even DO everyday! Lol 🤣 Great video🎉

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

That is so cool. Nice one Tim 👌

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

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

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

Nice one Tim That looked well cool them pods on the lake remind me of a moon base have a top week dude 🙂🧳🎥✌️

Just found your channel definitely got my sub now to binge your videos 😊

thats great

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

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

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 👍👍

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

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

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.

Interesting.

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

Nice and creative as always tim!

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

Looks great but maybe try a dome too

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!

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.

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

Nice one Tim 👍 A bit too cramped for me though!

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 😄

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!

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.

Built in 1982, British Air Corps, 671 Squad... can't find much out other than that due to it being MIL.
