A post-war British home built from two wartime glider fuselages

A historian of aviation has resurfaced a curious piece of British post-war improvisation: a dwelling built from two Airspeed Horsa glider fuselages, with a railway carriage roof on top. The Horsa was a military glider, and the home is a small example of how scarce materials were put to new use after the war. The details come from a single enthusiast's post and are thin, but the image of a house made of two aircraft bodies and a train roof is hard to forget.
