No one on PPRuNe would give me the location of where Rainbow 1 was moved after it left Blackbushe but today, thanks to the Daily Express, I have finally found out.
Royal Family's helicopter only to be flown by Armed Forces pilots (Quite right too)
THE ROYAL FAMILY has stopped using civilian helicopter pilots on charter flights and moved the Queen’s aircraft to a new base amid safety concerns after a fatal crash in London.
Aides said the Queen’s Sikorsky helicopter had moved to RAF Odiham in Hampshire because of concerns after a chopper crashed into a crane in fog, killing the pilot and a pedestrian in Vauxhall, London, in January.
Only Armed Forces pilots will now be used on royal commercial charter helicopter flights.
