I'm a bit tired of the title 'Blair Force One' for this topic having seen it used in other discussions elsewhere as well, it isn't just for Tony Blair at all so that title is completely inaccurate, heck by the time the plan comes into effect he probably won't even be PM! This is a plan for the future, not the now.
32 Squadron are overworked increasingly to cope with all the current commitments and when the PM flies with British Airways (as he does currently) he's flying an aircraft with a civilian crew and which has no countermeasures at all which makes for an easier target. A dedicated, military operated aircraft will enable the proper countermeasure protection (which are currently only available on the BAe 146(s) 32 Sqaudron operate) for the PM, just look at AF1, to me this is a sensible move and with the extra money our PMs and other higher ups will be properly protected.

Well at least you can be sure that when the Queen or PM go travelling in the plane they'll have everything they need. Unlike the 2 C17's and 4000 men that Bush had as travelling companions on his las visit to England.

Not entirely so. Mr B could have created the right impression by spending the money
buying
(not leasing) a decent VIP/AAR fleet tailored to the specification needed to be operated by the RAF in the role to replace the severely limited VC10 fleet. Instead we're faffing around with FSTA, which as thie current rate may have replaced the VC-10 fleet when I've almost retired

Not a chance - the RAF would disappear if they go in!

You try keeping the "Leader of the Free World" (it's in quotes and it's what he's often called, so don't make any trouble) alive.
Takes a tad more than a small security detail, eh?

You know during the whole of the second world war Winston Churchill had just one body guard.

Ah, good ol' Winnie. Sadly they don't make 'em like that any more.
