TOUCHDOWN IN UK

-

Mr Trump arrived on Air Force One at 1.59pm yesterday at Stansted airport in Essex. The ‘Flying White House’ offers 4,000 square feet of floor space, top class catering, a presidenti­al bedroom and office. It accommodat­es just 70 travellers. It comes at a price of a reportedly £137,000 per hour to fly. There is also a back-up plane always within a 30-minute trip away. Its 26 crew nickname it ‘Angel’. U.S. government is cagey about security features. But it emits electronic counter measures to jam enemy radar. Defence flares can also be fired to distract heat-seeking missiles. A section of the plane dubbed the ‘attic’ runs along almost its entire length, packed with classified radio antennae.
