When I flew VVIP, I think it was Lockheed who suggested a fast bisjet to take Maggie from Dallas to LHR. It did. Just her, the VC10 carried the huge entourage of security, garden girls, MPs, press (who paid handsomely) & crew to look after all that (up to 19) etc. That idea was dropped. Anyway, the chartered stuff did not have anti-missile defence. The Ten did.
