Whatever happened to the idea I read about a few years ago that Tony was thinking of splashing out on an A330 as a "UNITED KINGDOM" logoed Blairmobile?

Last year HM Gov toyed with the idea of a GV purchase.

However, the threat of public (media ) pressure canned that one!

Can't see why the UK hasn't got a "Blair Force Once" considering some smaller countries leaders have their own state transport.

The Queens Flight + red helicopters was disbanded years ago. That looks like a hired Bond helicopter to me. Is that paid for by labour party funds or taxpayers. Oh yes, we are labour party funds!

Super Puma operated by Bond Helicopters based in Aberdeen, normally used for offshore work.
