BAGGAGE
a..
b.
Those travelling by RAF aircraft are reminded that baggage should be left unlocked for the customary check. Butane gas lighter refills and matches, other than safety ones, may not be taken on the aircraft; certain aerosol sprays are now accepted on flights, provided they are not used on the aircraft. Any electrical items must be disconnected from their batteries.
For space reasons those travelling in the VC 10 are asked to limit their personal baggage to one suitcase.
INSURANCE
a.
b.
No refund of insurance premium is payable from public funds for officers on short-term visits overseas. When the personal property (other than money or luxury articles) of an officer sent overseas on a short-term visit is lost or damaged during transit to or from the UK or while he or she is in receipt of subsistence allowance during his stay overseas, and the loss or damage is not covered by an existing insurance policy, and the officer himself has not been negligent, compensation would be based on the current cost of replacing the articles, less the amount for depreciation or, if less, the full cost of repair.
Those travelling in the VC 10 are advised to check whether their insurance policies provide cover for travelling by non-commercial flights and to consult their insurers if they are in any doubt about their position. At present claims on HMG for compensation are subject to a liability limit of £25,000.
