Correct. He’s going to England, but where he will land and where he will go after he lands is up in the air. If he doesn’t fly into Heathrow or Gatwick, civilian airports, my best guess is Brize Norton which is the only controlled airfield near London that can handle AF1. It is about 40/50 miles WNW of Windsor in Oxfordshire.

The other alternative is Mildenhall, which is way up in East Anglia, my old stomping grounds when I was flying into and out of Europe driving tankers. Way too remote for any kind of road security.

Even Brize Norton will be a security challenge, as there are no motorways nearby. You could take the A40 around Oxford and toward London, or go south to Swindon and pick up the A4. From a security standpoint, neither is ideal.

Best guess is helicopter transport after landing at Brize to wherever he is going next. I don’t expect the SpunkTrumpet to spend a lot of time in ground transportation as the entire population of the UK will fling eggs. So, helo rides w/ darkened windows and soothing music so the poor little snowflake won’t get his feefees hurt.

Stansaid Airport. It’s the only choice.
