      @@rovertaw22 Dunno, but I've heard 'Boris One'. Blair wanted a new VIP plane but Gordon Brown cancelled it when the planet became skint overnight. Cameron fitting one of the new tankers with a multi-million pound VIP interior and optional extras, then when Boris got the paint job done for less than a million, a lot of folk complained.

      It's not just for VIP travel. It still serves as a refuelling jet for RAF fighter jets as well.

    I think the idea was proposed by the labour govt back in the 1990s and the newspapers came up with the sobriquet 'Blairforce One'. Now I guess it's Kier's Kite. It is hazy in my mind but I think the Government used to use VC10s of the Queens Flight until they were pensioned off?
