Summary edit

Description
English: This is an aircraft with a colourful history. It belongs to a Bermudan company 'Flying Lion' but is based in Boca Raton, Florida. Flying Lion is owned by Lord Ashcroft, formerly the British Conservative Party treasurer, who is alleged to have circumvented British political party funding rules by 'donating' the aircraft to transport Conservative MPs during election campaigns. Lord Ashcroft was visiting New Zealand on this visit, following his posting of a reward for the recovery of the medals stolen from the Army Museum.

In 2004 it also suffered an undercarriage collapse while landing at Stansted.

It is an extraordinarily widely travelled aircraft and is seen all over the world.
