I presume both of these will be used to visit Balmoral tomorrow (6th)

I thought ABZ might be too foggy, but ZAHS has arrived with the outgoing PM.

No, but they have got the French flag running up to the centre engine.

Boris got in, Liz's plane might have to go into the hold as the fog at ABZ has closed in somewhat!!

Quick somebody nip down and re-open Leuchars
(Pretty boring colour scheme)

Lawns looked OK on sunday when the 'Tour of Britain' went past.

I wonder if someone at HQ will have the gumption to divert her Flight to Lossie if ABZ doesn't work out?

Leuchars isn't closed.

This biz-jet came in from Canada to Leuchars this morning at the same time Boris One was on approach to ABZ.

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?

I action today taking Liz Truss & boris Johnson to Balmoral

You mean so that just one incident would take both of them out?
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.

One assumes that Truss and Coffey (Deputy PM) will never travel on the same plane for that reason. Not to mention possible payload limitations.

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.

Where was the new shiny Falcon today for His Majesty's trip back to London?

It looked it was at Aberdeen to me.

The King flew South on some random business jet. Poor show I thought.

The reg of the Falcon which arrived at Aberdeen looks to match one of the 2 x32 Sqn ac. I assumed that the King would get first choice of the flight back.

It wasn’t either of those aircraft. Clip of him boarding available on BBC live coverage.
