I have a friend who is and officer in the RAF. He says that this aircraft was due a repaint anyway, just shows you that what the media do to twist things to get a headline.
But what's the point? You arrive in a foreign land with a shiny new paintjob and when the door opens a guy stumbles out, who looks like he slept off a hangover in the cargo hold and can't string a single sentence together.
Danilo Pecher better than looking like Steptoe the former labour leader (ps you know Labour is rebranded communism - right?) they're not the working mans party anymore.
He had access to a plane. The Queen has her own private plane. She just doesn't use it as much as she used to. Boris has to ask her permission to use it.
@@gordonhotchkiss646 Wrong. The Head of State uses this aircraft as does the PM and other VIPs. Its why the front section was kitted out for such use with secure comms, DAS etc. It was converted to save £750,000 a year in plane charters. The only other aircraft the Queen uses is the BAE 146 of 32 Squadron based at RAF Northolt
ElliotL- CBGSpotter he is talking about the 2 new Indian airforce ones (777-300er )expected to be delivered in September . Airlines.net has just 2 photos yet and the livery isn’t great .
Look at the damage the crew are doing to the nose gear tyres,he has full lock on to make the turn and power on ,they almost pushed the tyres off the rims, look at the tyre marks left on the runway.two new tyres as well as paint required
Really bad technique I’m afraid. The runway there is 45m wide, and turning radius is 51m, but this isn’t described by the nosewheel but the wingtip. As you can see the nose goes wide and the winglet goes further than 6m over the edge. There is a turning node there he could have used. I used to fly 777 and the technique was to come to a stop before starting the min-radius turn, differential power and braking with full tiller. This guy races into it with too much speed, and I’m not sure what else he’s doing but watching that nosewheel makes me cringe. I hope they don’t pull this cowboy stuff when on duty abroad!!
@@ddha0000 BA couldn't do a livery like this - BA are not even British owned or do you live in cloud cuckoo land? maybe you do. Im an ex Pom living in Australia what are you?
I have flown to India on this aircraft, very basic inside. I quite liked the air force grey, it was vaguely menacing in a 'don't mess with me' way, especially with the uniformed RAF aircrew. It flies with its own maintenance crew. By far the best part of the flight was the flight crew, so smart and professional.
james chicken + My frigate was guard ship to the Royal Yacht on a South African visit, if you think first impressions don't help to sell British business then your a fool mucker, been far to much not sell "Britain" over the last years.
So just like how Iron Maiden have created their “ED FORCE ONE!” flight service, Barack Obama & the “Air Force One”, and Donald Trump leading the “Trump Force One”. Boris Johnson now owns his own plane. Classic!
This is beautiful! I’m so glad the UK has some representation when landing in foreign countries, the Big Union Flag at the back makes this perfect, much more fitting that the US Air Force one!
Now both the UK and France use an A330 as their Government plane (Royals + PM and PR + PM), only the UK uses a non-dedicated aircraft. The French presidential plane being a second-hand, modified passenger airplane with defense systems. Would love to see the inside of both to compare. It's also older obviously!

My apologies Chris, I was not looking at it in that way, I first saw the Starboard side and assumed the flag pole to be aft of the tail fin, when looking again, precedence given to Port side, the Union Flag is correct, that places the flag pole forward of the tail fin, in which case, all is as should be. Might I however suggest that the term Union Jack should really only be used when the Union Flag is flown on a ship of the seas.
@@nostalgicambience6904 I think its, well, tacky to be honest, especially with the gold titles and the extent to which the flag has been made to dominate the entire rear. More like a budget airline that's trying way too hard to pretend its a national flag carrier than an actual state-operated VIP transport. Even the new Trump-supported VC-25B's livery isn't wrapped in the star spangled banner. BMI's livery was more well thought out and elegant. A more simple update to the hi-vis transport command livery worn by the VC10 and Tristar would have been more than enough. 32 Sqn's fleet looks the part.
Alot of people may not know that this is aircraft is more secure, advanced technologies, state of the art and sophisticated plane in the world. It'll put air force one to a side.
