RAF Voyager ZZ336 Government Transport

Titan Airways G-XATW currently at Stansted getting repainted to match ZZ336 infamous paint scheme. Due to be a likely replacement for the Bae146.

A bit big to join 32 at Northolt ... positioning at Brize, I assume, if there’s room. Or just called in from STN when needed/justified? More complexity, whichever way you look at it.

”Yes, Prime Minister” ... 😀

G-XATW is a brand new A321NEO leased by Titan from ALC, and they are capable of operating out of London City which has a shorter runway than Northolt, so I don't see why in VIP fit, it couldn't operate from Northolt...??

First time I hear that A321neo can operate into and out of EGLC.

Well they will still have a helicopter and one would assume someone would be needed to handle this.

In the days of 'Blair Force One' there were rumours that 32 would be re-located to Farnborough to the extent that part (one third) of the newer hangar on West Apron was to be reserved for a 'special' customer.
This rumour was still extant when I left Farnborough in 2008 when this hangar was still only part built.

Doesn't it look more balanced with a sensibly sized aircraft registration on the back placed in line with the United Kingdom instead of the humongus ZZ

It's a very fetching 60's / 70's retro paint scheme......

Where do you get that from? Pretty sure the largest type that can operate into LCY is the A318. It got approval when BA introduced the all business class cabin substitute service for Concorde to JFK. I believe Titan also operate one of those ex-BA aircraft too.

A400M has been to City. Pretty sure that’s larger than A318, but your point is still valid.
