King Charles Puts Late Queen Elizabeth's Helicopter and Range Rover Up for Sale
King Charles has decided to sell his late mother Queen Elizabeth II's luxury helicopter, which is expected to fetch up to £5 million. The 2009 Sikorsky helicopter, painted in a striking red with eight seats, has been part of the royal fleet since it was first purchased. According to the Daily Mail, the King plans to replace it with two newer, eco-friendlier aircraft, each costing around £8.5 million. The Royal Family began using the AgustaWestland AW139 helicopters last year, which operate on 50% sustainable aviation fuel. The older Sikorsky had served the late Queen for 15 years, including memorable trips such as her journey from Sandringham to Windsor just months before her passing. Recently, the helicopter's elegant interior was revealed. It features wide grey leather seats, a plush blue carpet, magazine racks, a wooden clock, and tinted windows for added privacy. Aviation brokerage firm AeroAsset confirmed that the aircraft had only one owner and was specially designed for heads of state, with around 5,222 flight hours logged and a luxurious suede leather finish inside. Alongside the helicopter, one of Queen Elizabeth's personal Range Rovers will also go under the hammer. The 2006 L322 model, used by the Queen between 2006 and 2008, includes unique details such as a Labrador hood ornament holding a grouse, custom side steps, mud flaps, a dog guard, and additional security wiring. Despite having covered 120,000 miles, the car is described as being in 'excellent condition.' Both the helicopter and the car offer collectors a rare opportunity to own a piece of royal history.
