Yet another shocking waste of tax payers money - but then we expect nothing less from Labour to be honest

No surprise to see today that support for Labour has hit a new 19-year low

Surely it can only be the lowest dole scroungers and immigrants who still support them now...

I think this is a shameful waste of taxpayer's money, and he or any Prime Minister just do not deserve this kind of perk. They always used to use one of the RAF VC10's for official long distance trips as did the Queen. That was adequate and a very good safe aircraft too. To have a dedicated aircraft just for him is just taking the ****! I suppose he will be using this one for his holidays, like he did just recently, using a Queen's flight aircraft!

Can anyone tell us what a "carbon neutral" flight is by the way?

Yep......but the bad news is he's having a dump valve fitted, along with gold landing gear and a decatted jet exhaust.

Oh and a PPP.

That's a Pretty Pathetic Party!

C'mon lads, at least by keeping it down to 'just' two planes, he's making it an easier target for the terrorists to take down. All it needs is his gawping, twattish grin painted on the side to make a perfect 'target' for the missles. Hope Brown's on it at the same time when they get take it down.

another example of two fingers up to the esablishment

why does he need a plane??? he,s not our leader. hes the mouthpiece for what loosely passes as the govstapo.

HRH is our leader thats who needs the plane,

once again its jumped up politicians who,s egos are too big for there bodies

they like to posture on the world stage but do F8ck all at home.

Indeed, I have to go to bed. Someone change that horizontal blue line for a falling green, then red one, and put 'Blairways' instead of the Antonov writing.

that could be it, looks quite similar TBH although it was not that low

by the time i got the "mick come and look at this" it was allread past the wash and on its way towards the coast

my google for "big aeroplane with a radar dish on it" did not yield many results
