Dassault Falcon 900LX replace 32 Sqn BAE 146
Didn’t seem to enter the hold but they went round in circles for half an hour or so. There were about half a dozen helicopters holding too, plus at least 4 diverted to Inverness.
Again , forgive me if I’m missing something here , but : Is there a rule / protocol that prevented them travelling together in a single aircraft?
2 people departing from the same place , with the same destination , both returning to the same POD.
Harm to the environment , waste of taxpayers’ money et al!
Can anyone explain why 2 aircraft were needed?

POTUS and his VP never travel in the same aircraft.
Slightly different situation here. The President and VP not flying together is to safeguard the line of succession. Johnson was (at the time of the flight) no longer to be PM, so him crashing on the same plane as Truss would have no impact on the UK's succession of power. Should they have both gone down together on the same plane (quit sniggering at the back!), the Conservative Party would have just had to elect another leader.
Not necessarily. The office of Deputy PM in the UK does not hold the same constitutional significance as Vice President does in the US. If the PM is killed, the role does not legally transfer to the Deputy PM.
