The newly-wed Duke and Duchess of Cambridge arrived in LA yesterday, courtesy of the Royal Canadian Airforce. They were met by California Governor Jerry Brown and LA Mayor Antonio Villaragaiosa. The Duke and Duchess are expected to spend a few days in Southern California, attending a polo match and a variety of other social functions, as well as visiting some local charities.

A couple of hours later, the RCAF Airbus headed back home:

Capt Vector: what aircraft took the Duke and Duchess back to the UK?
