Where can I find a scrap aircraft fuselage?

I'm currently doing a design project for the final year of my BA Architecture degree. The project is all about converting a disused barn into a home.
I'm really into an architectural design group called LOT-EK from New York, who take objects and turn them into something new. Some of their projects have included taking a set of four shipping containers and turning them into a house, turning an old tube tv into a standing light and creating a media room out of a cement mixer.
Inspired by this I am creating a loft style space within the timber framed barn, designing a set of bathrooms in an oil tanker trailer stood on its end in one part of the room. I wanted to do something similar for a bedroom space but For me the oil tanker is a little small for this...anyway...
Basically what I want to do instead is use an old section of aircraft fuselage to span the 5 metre width of the barn, and I wanted to know what is the best aircraft to use and where in the UK (purely as research) can you find scrap aircraft.
I'm looking for something with between 5 feet 10 and 6 feet clearance for a person to stand in. I've been told something called an SF340 matches that, but anymore suggestions are welcome.
Thankyou!
