Ascoteer. It is 20 years since I was last in this game which was for most of my time in the Royal Air Force. We never broke down, as you put it, on a Royal or VVIP flight.
Costings were very complex and involved 'creative accountancy'. Even then the PM would sometimes use another 'company'. Good
PR of course for the lower tender.
Blimey, I remember a few that cut it close, like fitting the VIP fit on the spare on route to pick up the VIP, it was pulled out of the primary and thrown across to the secondary aircraft freight door to freight door.
Maggie came back on two, I suppose that wasn't really broken down, only slightly
