Military Aviation A forum for the professionals who fly military hardware. Also for the backroom boys and girls who support the flying and maintain the equipment, and without whom nothing would ever leave the ground. All armies, navies and air forces of the world equally welcome here.

Really?

Fair point, kit bag but the aircraft is for use of Her Majesty too. I phrased it as I did because thankfully HM wasn't on board for the disgraceful Angolan charter debacle.

I'm surprised by the negatives expressed here, of all places. This is a prestige role, formerly outsourced, now being handed back to the RAF.

Not being negative about the RAF taking the role back on, just pondering the way it has been costed. Personally, as I said I believe the RAF should carry the Monarch, the next in line, and all the excess baggage that follows on, Mp's..etc

I wonder how much of this is informed by security aspects as much as economic - much more difficult to hide a coke can bomb on an RAF aircraft I'd imagine
