VIP Aircraft
Sorry Point0Five, the B707's were never part of the VIP fleet. They were in fact only very occasionally used in the VIP role, having the bulk of their tasking in support of the three arms of the forces and four were made able to carry out air to air refuelling. People may be forgiven for thinking they were VIP aircraft, especially with the rhetoric from Bob Hawke prior to him winning government. He claimed he would sell the initial two if he won the election, however he kept them and bought five more (including one for spares).
I sincerely hope the Rudd led government is tossed out after one term, we can't afford them for any longer than that.
