Somerset builder Neil Banwell, has bought a Harrier Jump Jet on Ebay for £10,000.
Mr Banwell, who has parked the plane in his back garden, said "There are lots of parts missing but I'm gradually doing it up".
The Harrier is the world''s only VTOL (Vertical Take Off and Landing) plane. It was developed by the British in the 1970s.
Mr Banwell's jet, which would have cost £35m when new, is believed to have seen action in the Falklands.
