The Queen’s official fleet of planes is to be sold off as part of defence cuts in a move that will force her to borrow Boris Johnson’s Union Flag jet. The results of the review are due to be formally revealed in two stages later this month, but the Mail can reveal that one of the key announcements will be the grounding of the Queen’s planes. The four BAE-146 regional airliners are part of the RAF’s historic 32 (Royal) Squadron, previously known as The Queen’s Flight.
