Prince William’s former search and rescue helicopter that he flew while on duty in the Royal Air Force (RAF) Valley has transformed into a glamping pod, and his fans can now rent it for $190.61 per night.

The RAF Sea King is one of three helicopters rescued from the scrapyard by Yorkshire businessman Ben Stonehouse.

The bright yellow chopper -- one of the two glamping pods found at the Pinewood Park campsite near Scarborough, England — was given a glow-up worth $250,000.

The renovated choppers are spacious. Each pod sleeps two adults and three children. They are also fully insulated and heated.

The cockpit’s rubber and metal seats have been replaced with a plush double bed. The hallway comes equipped with wardrobes that can also be converted into bunk beds, according to New York Post.

The interiors have a Scandinavian feel with rustic wooden floorboards. Guests can enjoy a swing on the patio.

The third helicopter acquired by Stonehouse, which the prince used on his first mission, has transformed into a café by the sea.

As Flight Lieutenant William Wales, the royal completed 156 missions with the search-and-rescue team based at RAF Valley in Anglesey, North Wales, from 2010 to 2013.

Recent reports stated that Prince William and his wife Kate Middleton are in trouble for traveling via helicopter for a short holiday break with their children, even though the Queen has reportedly urged him to give up flying in a helicopter for safety reasons.

Despite William being a trained pilot, the Queen does not approve of his use of helicopters for family trips. The Royal Majesty was reportedly "terrified" at the idea of an accident happening when the entire line to the throne is on board.
