Prime Minister's Aircraft

Noticed on BBC last night that Tony used a BA A320 for his flight into Moscow and, one would assume, will use the same for his current tour of Europe.

Does BA have a spare craft in every fleet size for such ad-hoc and sudden VIP movements, or are the aircraft just pulled from mainline as and when?

Also, how is it configured internally - will it just operate on this short haul flight with the standard BA interior, or is it reconfigured for VIP use?

Not so much of a problem on a mainline 777, which is already somewhat "plusher" at the front end. But, not so sure as to how the standard 320 would suit such an operation.

Just curious.
