The Times and Independent suggests a 737 is the choice for the 85 seat. Maybe a Bombardier Global Express for the corporate jet to throw a sop to UK industry?

But Airbus don't make a corporate 32x aircraft which with IAE V2527 engines would have lots of UK content - hang on... they do you know! The Czechs just ordered two.
