User pays
Now the Royals have to pay there way instead of the Tax person, do they go by a cheaper option (By a low cost carrier to save them a penny or two)??
With some of the comments made in the past and life at the end of the day the user has to foot the bill in a number of ways.

Oh dear... isn't it diabolical when you have to xeplain in great detail what was a humorous comment.
"Rainbow" was the Duke of Edinburgh's callsign for any flight he made. I think I spoke to it more frequently as fixed-wing aircraft rather than a helicopter...

I thought that 'Rainbow' was the D of E's personal call sign - in the days when he was occasionally 'at the controls'. Something he gave up, a long time ago. Likewise his son - although perhaps for slightly more dramatic reasons!
