The RAF could buy the CanForce CC-150 Polaris, #05 (A310-304F). This was
fitted out for long departed Canadian Prime Minister, Brian Mulroney, as a
VIP Air Force 1 type of a/c. It even has Gold faucets in the bathroom.

Gold faucets would never do. Blair's "supposed" to be a socialist for god's
sake. He should be made to sit on a spike and eat an inflight meal of raw
turnip. (And be thankful.)

Our current Prime Minister (Jean Chretien) thought this a/c was excessive,
so he flies short hauls in a CC-144 Challenger (Canadair CL-601/04) or one
of the other 4 CC-150 Polaris's that aren't refitted as a flying Taj
Mahal. Our Gov't has been trying to sell #05, but it looks like Air Canada
will refit it back to a combi configuration
