Echo Oscar the Saudia L1011s at a bargain price of $5,000,000 each??
For that sum I would insist on at least 10 aircraft. Prices have collapsed for the old Tristar I'm afraid.
I understand the RAF was offered complete L1011 airframes for nothing - and turned them down.
The Four-Ringer concerned muttered something about MOD bean-counters wanting to lease, off-balance sheet accounting, blah, blah blah.
Anyway, who wants the British Government turning up in yesterday's aircraft?
The solution is at hand. The Airbus A319CJ. Purpose built corporate jet that can be configured with a lovely VIP interior by thos nice chaps in Switzerland.
That should suit Phoney-Tony, Buff-Hoon and the other empty suits in the cabinet down to the ground.
