Since 2021, Dave has documented projects like this on his YouTube channel, Tornado Dave, which has more than 326,000 subscribers.
Dave captured the crane being lifted into place from several angles, including from the crane itself using a GoPro-style camera that was fitted when it was on the ground.
He said he decided to set up his own YouTube channel after he worked on the Guy’s Garage television programme – with presenter and former motorcycle racer Guy Martin – who drove one of Dave’s modified Land Rovers.
Dave, who also runs a storage and fabrication businesses, used a 3D printer to create a scale model of how the fuselage will connect to an existing underground room beneath his garden.
He aims to apply for retrospective planning permission on the project, which he hopes to have finished by February.
