Scottish chef converts cottage kitchen into 'American Airlines' galley

We have all had our issues with airline meals, but one Scottish chef has taken it upon himself to change their image – by converting his home kitchen into an in-flight galley.

Andrew Mellon spent more than £3,000 integrating the internal Boeing 737 component into his Banff cottage after spotting it for sale on eBay for just £149.

The off-grid property – named N/ine – features upcycled British Airways carts, cabin windows and video screens replaying landings into some of the 53-year-old’s favourite airports.

Andrew, a private chef who often works internationally, is now set to rent the cottage out to those looking for a unique escape to the Aberdeenshire countryside.
