This is the bizarre moment a Vietnam war aircraft was lifted off the roof of a garage. Mechanic Charlie Choungrangsee, 48, left his wife speechless when he bought the Fairchild C-123 carrier at an auction for 400,000 baht (then equivalent to 6,500gbp) in 1990. She ordered him out of the home and refused to have it in their home - so quick-thinking Charlie plonked it on the roof of his petrol station in Bangkok, Thailand, where it has been for the last two decades.
