He sure made a bit of a hash-ish of that flight...

I'll bet he nearly weed his pants when the jets turned up.

Was this just a delivery for the President he forgot to notify his Secret Service detail of?

Hmm, I wonder if G-ANGA or G-ANJA are available? I'm sure they wouldn't arouse any suspicion!
Edited to say that I see that both are indeed registered. I wonder if the owners suffer a greater incidence of ramp checks?
