PMs ride home from Australia

I see from a couple of newspapers that David Cameron returned home from Australia on a chartered Virgin Atlantic flight. I haven't seen anything in the toolbox but wondered if anyone knew which aircraft brought the PM home?

I see the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh returned home into LHR late yesterday evening on a BA 777 having flown direct from Perth to LHR.

The a/c that was used was G-VELD African Queen, A340-300.
The PM used the same plane round trip.
Virgin has the government contract and he regularly flies on chartered VS a/c.

It's entirely up to the company/persons chartering the a/c to stipulate what amenities, food, drink, classes of service in each cabin they require.
I have known chartered flights to have upper service in premium and upper duvets in economy, with a specially selected menu based on persons requirements!
