I can confirm that the whole visit has been cancelled.

Look out for Willy
 

Prince Will is still coming though. Heard on Sky News that he's arriving first class on QF but not sure if that's a reporter's quip or fact. Same reporter claims that Elizabeth Windsor is footing the bill rather than the Aussie taxpayer as it's not an official royal tour - it's simply William on a frolic of his own following his Dad's footsteps of all those years ago. I don't think he's planning on a year in Geelong though! Here's the archive of the TIME story for those of you too young to remember Timbertop: http://www.time.com/time/magazine/ar...941486,00.html

$405 a term!!!!!!

TIME reported in US$ in those days, so that was about A$380 since the A$ was worth US$1.10 :)

Might be related to a 'USAF' visit, GLF4 91-0108 at FL430 on mode-s as Racer1. So maybe even if the big guns don't make it there may still be some

As per Grahame's post (Corp Movements) looks like the Gulf 4 is heading to NZ!

91-0108 came to Christchurch. We get one every year for the higher ranking people to visit Antarctica. C-40 due in a few days aswell.

According to TVNZ's website, the Prince rocked in on a regular Air New Zealand flight

wow....so are there any confirmations re what he'll be arriving in and when? a 757? a BA flight? Is he still arriving around lunch time?

Cheers,

Jen

He came to New Zealand on NZ38 From LHR via Hong Kong in business class.
He flys to Sydney tomorrow (late morning) on either a scheduled Air New Zealand flight or the NZAF Boeing 757, haven't found that bit out yet. I'm thinking the 757 option since the only flight out of Wellington to Sydney is at 6.40AM and he is visiting a children's hospital before he leaves.
