Ele Ludemann: Plane sense needed

It is bad luck that the Defence Force Boeing 757s keep breaking down when transporting Prime Ministers, but it has to be more than good luck that the breakdowns happen on the ground. The Air Force wouldn’t be flying them if they weren’t safe.

But there has to be a better way to transport Prime Ministerial delegations, and the troops and freight the planes are also used for than these unreliable planes.
