What the President is taking to London

Among the equipment they will bring will be:

• Two identical personal Boeing 747-200s and a third chartered jumbo.

• One personal US Marine Corps Sikorsky Sea King helicopter and a second A VH-60N, a VIP version of the Black Hawk helicopter.

• Two identical motorcades each made up of 20 mostly armoured vehicles, including the President’s converted Cadillac Deville.

• The “football”, a briefcase carried by a military aide which contains the launch codes for America’s nuclear arsenal.
