£5k !!??!? :shock:

I could employ a couple of high class babes and a room at the Dorchester for that kind of cash.

PS I hope T isn't flying it, that pesky lens of his would keep poking through the curtains. :lol:

Wonder if they'll be filing airways to the West... :shock:

Will keep a look out for HMU flights or "general handling" flights in the TRAs by the same aircraft from Farnborough and back! :lol:

I wonder if the CAA signed that one off? The last time someone tried running a service like that (from Staverton IIRC, using a Cessna Caravan with soft furnishings), the CAA shut it down because it a) it was most "irregular" b) it was thought the pilots would be distracted by it.

Perhaps this jet has a solid soundproof cockpit door?

Is this some well known nudge-nudge phrase (yet another) that I haven't heard of...? (or tried, obviously).

Looks like the same outfit (the operator, not the lingerie).

Got to wonder about the role parameters of The Sun's photographer, though.
