snip--" A multi-million-pound security operation is under way ahead of Donald Trump's UK state visit, intended to create an impenetrable ring of steel around the US president.

President Trump's three-day trip, from Monday, 3 June, at the invitation of the Queen, could cost more than £18m."


snip--"The Met Police said it would be "a multi-agency policing operation with a very experienced command team in place", and the cost, while still too early to say, would be "significant".

Planned protests in the London area will also require policing."

1. Thanks for this very interesting thread.

2. Ugh! What an imposition.

And at a massive cost to the US taxpayers. Is it really necessary that he drags his grifting adult children along with him?

6. The Osprey uses RR engines ??

Interesting arrangement. Wonder what led to that -- is US Military trying to keep RR's engine division viable to maintain more vendors in its supply chain ?

Hope the SS agents riding in that thing have their insurance policies paid up. That has been a troubled aircraft.
