What Time Does Airforce One land at Stansted ?
Discussion
LOL !!
Can't believe that he's going to land in Regents Park - he's staying at the US ambassadors pad - very nice it is as well
Not sure that the 200 bodyguards will have their own on suites though !!
Suspect he'll be heading to Boujis tonight - nowhere is to go really on a Tuesday night

Blimey I remember some years back sitting in the car at outside the perimeter fence at the end of Stansted runway, eating fish and chips watching the aircraft landing and taking off. Next thing I know 5 heavily armed (and I mean heavily armed!) military guys in full uniform surround the car. I was a little alarmed! They proceed to question me, etc, etc.. then told me to get on my way..
Anyway I was recounting my story in the local pub and it so happened that a Stansted chap was present. He told me that it was because the EL Al plane was landing there. Apparently in those days of middle east conflict when an El Al flight was due in England its final destination could be Heathrow, Gatwick or Stansted, nobody knew until an hour before it arrived. It seemed a plausible story at the time, but I never stopped to eat my chips there again!

It is a ridiculous circus though. This is probably the prime global candidate for using modern web-meeting technology to save costs - and yet they all want a jolly to let the wives go to Harrods.
Tend to agree with you - god knows what the cost of this jolly is ! Haven't they heard of Skype ?

It's definitely Stansted - Bush caused too much disruption when he landed at heathrow - took hours in the Duty Free.
