King Charles Visit 2024

Wouldn’t be surprised if the MRTT preceding it does not have the same catering!

RAAF? Interesting not using BA. Surprised it would be kitted out for a King. Feel sorry for him having to travel internationally and apparently still undergoing chemo. Also think it's a shame he didn't get the King title years ago and some kind of handover from the Queen when alive.

Hopefully @ RR races tomorrow for Everest day with about 49,997 others!😁🏇
 
The King is on a newly delivered BBJ that took a long time to get its interior fitted, no pics apparently but lie flat j seats are a feature and only 32 pax

He’s a frequent flyer with RAAF.

It’s Australia’s responsibility to transport him. QEII would charter BA for the long haul and RAAF would fly domestic (or on to NZ etc).

But Charles is famous for being frugal so doesn’t surprise me. Apparently it was RPT to Singapore and we picked him up trom there.

Yes. A looooong wait and perhaps a bit too late if they can't cure the cancer.

Potentially a last hurrah o/s trip.

What a complete waste of Australian taxpayers money.

I keep saying that about a lot of things we taxpayers have our money spent on. How many millions is going towards PNG rugby team? This Royal tour seems like a steal in comparison to value there.

Until Australia can come up with a non politically based and acceptable form of a Republic then King Charles it is. I was very much a Republican until people like Bandana man came onto the scene. Oh. And that Craig someone. I think he played soccer but now he's an expert in Republicanism, and any other trendy thing that is happening.

Certainly to Australia I'd suggest.
