That's interesting. I always thought that the UK government officials were always using dedicated airplanes already. There's some advantages to having a special fleet. The planes of the AirForce One fleet have been extensively modified beyond belief with electronics, communications, countermeasures, and command networks... you know, just in case parliament gets terrorist bombed and the queen has to be whisk into safety, a moving airplane/ command nexus is a safe place to be.
