Bristol company Centreline in £80m deal to replace jets for royals and Government VIPs

A Bristol-based company has been contracted to source two jets that will fly Government VIPs and members of the Royal Family around the world, amid controversy that they've been bought from France and not the UK.

Centreline, an aerospace company based at Bristol Airport, has been contracted to source two £80million Queen's Flight planes reportedly bought from France and made in America, despite pledges by Boris Johnson to buy British.

Defence chiefs admit the aircraft, to replace British planes, will be made on the continent using many components from Germany, Greece and Italy, reports the Mirror.
