Someone asked me a question and I can find no info on Google, etc -

When Queen Elizabeth flies - does she have an unique aircraft
similar to Air
Force One?


No she flies on regular aircraft, usually British Airways.


Not always, only when the pukey little british airplanes they used to
fly in (but not now because of oil fumes) couldn't handle the range.
Like whne they need to fly furhter than Belgium, for instance.
They also use a RAF Herc for when one of them wants to be seen to be
concerned about the third world.
Charlie somewhat famously put a Cockroach (Bae146) off the runway a few
years ago when the crew let him land it.

Oh, and they also won't fly on BritishAirways B757s because of the oil
pouring out of the crappy Rolls Royce engines on them . They never
could build an engine that would hold oil.
