a white/blue 757 took off
plain, bar small stars/stripes on tail 737
a "Air force one" 747 took off
another white/blue 757
I make that 1x 737, 2x 757 and 1x 747. That does rather seem overkill for one man... but I wonder if he was really on 'Air Force One'? You're at the end of the runway with a teatowel on your head and one round in your SAM... which to go for...?plain, bar small stars/stripes on tail 737

Dont for get the choppers, 4 of them, plus 3 police

As other's have said - it's the same size as a Boeing 747-200 - because it's a 747-200!
According to the news he flew in to Stansted.
It's a 747-200B airframe, except it flies a little higher and a little quicker. Probably more of a military versus civil certification requirement rather than significant performance differences in reality. The flight deck bears more of a resemblance to a -400 or even a 777 than "Classic" 747 though. In fact, as the bulkhead isn't there and it is all part of the upper deck comms suite, it's more of a bridge!According to the news he flew in to Stansted.
