Blair's New Toy.

Anyone one know what blairs new Jet will be and when it will enter service. Saw a report in one of the daily's saying that he was due to get 2 second hand aircraft, but no indication of what they would be.

Cheers

In the interest of economy, Blair should support the LCC's and travel by Easyjet or Jet2; failing that charter a Monarch or Thomas Cook 757. I am sure he will enjoy the seat pitch.

Yes-I forgot about Ryanair as well. Mind you why can't he continue to use one of the Royal Flights Bae146 instead of buying something new. What a waste of money...

Rumours of B777 and BBJ have been heard - no idea where they originated though!

well, the 146 can't hop across the Pond in one go when he fancies a Trip to see his mate Bush.

I'll go for a BD700 Global Express & a B737-800 BBJ

I would have to agree, though maybe an A319LR/CJ instead of the BBJ.

How many seats does Mr Abramovic have in his 767-300 ?? Be nice to save a few bob and have a share pool.
What does Mrs A. have the use of these days has he still got the "old" BBJ on the books?

A good suggestion would be to stick President Blair in the back of plane and dump him in the middle of the sea somewhere!! Not that I dislike the man.

Thinks he's president - he KNOWS he is; he's also in a minority

I thought this forum was about aviation, not politician bashing.

Also, whatever happened to punctuation and literacy??

You answered your own question with the start of your first sentence.

Trouble is that by the time President Blair gets his bum onto his state presidential jet, he will have been kicked upstairs to the House of Lords so he will have to ask Gordon very nicely if he can use the jet for his next holiday sorry state visit.

My money is on an A330 with a tanker plus an escort of 4 Eurofighters for his high risk visits to see GWB and the ultra high risk visits to Paris!
