Sultan of Brunei trading his 747 ?

No Lap-pool but the Sultan of Brunei had the Aibus people present him with an option for the polo ponies on the rear main deck & his suite on the upper deck.
Staff & vets etc forward main & the extensive baggage (plus his personal vehicle) in the hold.
Room to spare but they were trying to get a bettter assessment of the payload, to see what range they could wring out of it.
Airbus said it was going to be a little tight into the west coast but all of Europe was a breeze.
Sounds a gentleman's dream machine.
