People in India who might never be able to afford to fly are being offered the chance to experience the next best thing.

Former airline engineer Bahadur Gupta has bought a plane, but will never fly in it.

If you look out of the plane window there's no sign of tarmac or clouds

He has installed it as a tourist attraction in his garden in Delhi and invited people to come and have a look around for a few rupees.

Cabin crew are also using it for training, but if you look out of the plane window there is not the usual sight of tarmac or clouds, instead there is a backyard and a few buffallo.

But that is just the ticket if you are afraid of flying.
