Businessman Johnny Palmer, who owns the Skyline Park site at Bonville Road in Brislington said he wants to create a 'placemaking landmark' in the local area.

Mr Palmer's first Boeing 727 is currently mounted on one level of shipping containers, but the second plane he wants to bring to Brislington will be much higher - on the equivalent of three storeys of containers. He has told council planners the plane and the structures underneath it will create a range of co-working and office spaces, with a coffee shop and public amenities.
