So if your argument is that there should be a large helicopter available, say an S92, to carry the PM, aides and security, then I would wholeheartedly agree.
I’m sure I’ve seen some rough time limits quoted for transporting the US President. Think it was no more than 30 minutes in a car then he goes via helicopter.
That was the point I was trying to get over, a largish helicopter or something bizzjet size lost since they got shot of the BAe 125’s would be more useful on U.K. travel.
Maybe add a Phenom to the fleet as a VIP, it would make sense as already in use.
