For the past few years he has been using BA aircraft more often than not for his long haul transport. Since Sep 11 BA have run into even more financial problems, and have even more longhaul equipment sat round on a daily basis.....why doesnt he do the sensible thing and charter one every time he needs it and keep an airline ticking rather than floughting in a private govmt aircraft. Maybe this is why we have been warned about sharp rise in income tax this year.......its not for the NHS at all.....its for the Blair Aircraft Project...tosser!
