MEON VALLEY FLYER

Ok been thinking back to my days involved with the senior service and a couple of queries pop up.
During time at many places to gain an insight into various roles. I was at Fleetlands around the time of Granby and while observing the role of a t/p had many a wonderful hands on flights in the gazelle 'hack'.
I was told several different stories as to why fleetlands had a perfectly servicable airframe to use as a hack, even with a logo painted on the tail.
can anyone else confirm why ?
Seperate question. At some other point during this time I was at Sultan when some royal bloke paid a visit (think it was the one that married ginger haired easy lay) Said prince arrived on the parade ground in a white gazelle with blue flash line (with tan leather seats ?). Q was this a RAF vip machine, if so what happened to them / it. I never did see one again.
Sorry this is such a minor Q. Will delete if someone answers.:)
p.s at this time I sat my board and had a Lt Woods on it. any stories about someone thawing her would be most welcome. It's always the serious ones you want to break
