An estimated 500 people will make up Mr Obama's entourage, including 200 secret service agents, as well as policy makers and support staff.
He will fly to Britain tomorrow on Air Force One, flanked by cargo planes which will hold all the transportation he needs while in Europe.
An estimated 35 vehicles will be brought to the UK for the presidential visit.
A US Air Force C-17 transporter will bring Mr Obama's armour-plated limousine, nick-named The Beast, which is strong enough to withstand a chemical attack.
It will also carry Marine One, the VH-3D helicopter which will transfer Mr Obama from Stansted airport to the centre of London, to the US Ambassador's residence near Regent's Park.



Glad to see that it is nothing to excessive then  eeek:........hope the Britsh security forces can stop the egg and paint throwers this time now they've received additional training  lol:
