The Sunderland at Duxford was said to have been used as a disco before it was rescued.

Talking of classrooms, is there a list of all the bits of airliner in use in colleges around the country? ….

A couple of Short 330s are in use:

[INDENT][/INDENT]I hope the teacher is about 3 foot tall, because even primary school kids would struggle to stand up in one lol

Quite.
I’m always amused in films where any bizjet interior is the width and height of a wide body.

I know of two in my area – something that looks like a 737 nose at Chichester College and a section of fuselage that is probably from a 747 at South Downs College, near Waterlooville, both for cabin crew training but I’m guessing that other educational establishments will have similar (large-ish and identifiable, rather than just system bits) pieces of late aeroplane lying around to teach various trades to the uninitiated.
