I suspect the MoD will only prevaricate or claim the information is not recorded/security sensitive or claim my location puts me outwith of the FoI scheme anyway.
But I would rather that a big transport aircraft would carry important supplies (or if the cupboard is bare, as reports often indicate they are, then they can carry extra comfort supplies and mails for the troops in theatre) rather than a politician who is looking for good
PR. Wouldn't you?
What is so wrong with the question. I have not asked for security information but it does not break security to say he and his 20 plus advisers flew IN PLACE of a regular trooping flight/ on a dedicated flight that would cost typically #10,000 / flight hour (x hours total block time) normally paid for out of the No. 10 budget rather than (made up figure) 1,000,000 pnds coming from the defence budget for a photo op when 1,000,000 pnds might provide a bit more body armour, an extra armoured level of supply of a vehicle or similar.
