The Queen apparently doesn't have any overseas-capable aircraft, so they
charter
something when necessary,


It's long-haul capability that the BAe146s of the Queen's Flight lack. I
believe they are used around Europe.



Not any more. She stopped using it since the engine oil fumes issue
was raised concerning that aircraft some time ago.
Still good enough for the great unwashed, though. And prolly Fergy.
