“It has a sofa which converts to a bed, a tv, underfloor heating and a decking area.

“Separate kitchen and bathroom facilities are nearby. This is a unique opportunity to camp in an ex-army Westland Lynx helicopter which has served in Afghanistan.

“A small and cosy space for two. If you enjoy camping and small space living and are looking for a quirky place to stay our helipod ticks all the boxes.


“There is an outside decking area to relax during the summer.”

It is kept at former RAF Wainfleet, Lincs, where up to six holidaymakers at a time can also stay in the old control tower for £206.

The base was last used by the RAF in 2009.
