Luftwaffe escort for the Queen
I see that a pair of Typhoons (oops EF2000s) escorted the Queen and Prince Philip into Berlin yesterday. Nice touch, but what a shame that our Head of State has to use a chartered aircraft on official business. Frau Merkel can choose from a pair of A319CJs, two A330s or four Global 56000s when she comes to visit. I presume that 32 Sqdn were busy, or does the RAF not get involved in flying the Royal family around these days, unlike other Commonwealth air forces?
