Boeing VC-25A 'Air Force One'

Library footage of Air Force One is used to show President Bush landing on Britain. Seen in Series Two Episode Six.

Sikorsky VH-3D 'Marine One'

Library footage of the Marine One Helicopter supposedly dropping off the President at Checkers. Seen in Series Two Episode Six.

BAe Harrier II

These jets are scrambled to attack a Microlight due to fears that it is being flown by a terrorist. The jets are named in the script as Harriers. Factually inaccurate, as the Harrier is a strike aircraft, not an air interdiction aircraft.

Pegasus Quantum 15

This microlight is caught in restricted airspace above Checkers and the Harriers are scrambled to attack it. However, it is soon realised that it was blown off course by the wind.

Boeing 777

In Episode Nine a terrorist tries to shoot down an airliner. In the scene this aircraft is shown apparently flying above.

Unidentified Aircraft

This second airliner is the one the terrorist actually targets with the surface to air missile.

Unidentified Aircraft

This airliner is seen in Episodes 5.01 and 5.02 when the air traffic control system is hacked so that two planes are taken off the system in an attempt to precipitate an air crash over London. It is most likely library footage and could well be one of the aircraft seen in 4.09.

(Air traffic control screen shown when the planes are close to colliding. Possibly delete)
