«Breaking News» Father-of-two, 41, builds Boeing 737 flight simulator in his dining room for £15,000

A plane-mad father-of-two has built a Boeing 737 flight simulator in his dining room - for just £15,000.   

David Naylor, 41, constructed the full size replica of a Boeing cockpit in his home using YouTube video tutorials and material bought off the internet.

Incredibly the ex-catering company manager had no electrical or engineering experience before building the ten-foot-wide cockpit - which takes up an entire room at his home in Barnsley, South Yorkshire.

Now Mr Naylor can pilot a 737 - an aircraft used by many airlines - with computer generated images (pictured) on an enormous 4K screen mimicking the pilot's view and the plane's movements

Mr Naylor's simulator contains exactly the same seats, controls and dials (pictured) that would be found inside the real thing

Users can choose to fly in and out of 20,000 airports around the world and decide what weather conditions they want to operate in. Pictured are the foot controls

A simulator like this (pictured in the background) would cost around £100,000 off the shelf but Mr Naylor (right) spent only £15,000 by sourcing the materials from the internet and building it himself

Mr Naylor said: 'I have always enjoyed flight simulators on the computer and I had seen people on YouTube build real ones.

'When I got made redundant I decided to invest my time and money and take the opportunity to give it a go.

'I had to learn how to solder and do all the electrical work, which was definitely a big challenge. I was on it 24/7, luckily I had time on my hands.'    

What began as a hobby in 2017 has now become a burgeoning business after Mr Naylor (pictured), who has begun welcoming fellow aerophiles into his home

Users can choose to fly in and out of 20,000 airports around the world and decide what weather conditions they want to operate in.

They can even carry out an emergency landing like the one on the Hudson River in New York City depicted in the Tom Hanks film Sully.

It's possible to carry out long haul flights around the world but most users opt to simulate take offs and landings, as they're the most exciting operations.

A simulator like this would cost around £100,000 off the shelf but Mr Naylor spent only £15,000 by sourcing the materials from the internet and building it himself.

He said: 'I built it in what used to be my dining room right next to the front door, there was nowhere else for it.

'My kids don't pay any attention to it whatsoever, they think I'm a bit mad I think.'  

What began as a hobby in 2017 has now become a burgeoning business after Mr Naylor, who lives with his two teenage children, began welcoming fellow aerophiles into his home.  

Mr Naylor has decided to put a website together and see if other people might be interested in having a go. The simulator is pictured here inside his dining room

He claims, after being made redundant, the  project has given him a new source of income and that he won't have to go back to his normal job

Prices for a go in the flight simulator (pictured inside Mr Naylor's dining room) start from £65 for a 30 minute taster and go up to £156 for a two hour session with tuition

He added: 'I decided to put a website together and see if other people might be interested in having a go.

'It's been really popular and got to the point now where it's a source of income and I don't have to go back to my normal job.

'Planes have always been a passion of mine so it's amazing to be able to do something like this full time.' 

Prices for a go in the flight simulator start from £65 for a 30 minute taster and go up to £156 for a two hour session with tuition.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
