Possibly a Dornier Jet? Caught him in it the time he came over after the Nasereene incident.

Hi guys with credit to Les from NIAG the PM used a different steed this time.
 
The various VIP aircraft connected with the PM's visit have now all left BHD.
The Irish G-IV departed last night, returned at lunchtime today and left again for Baldonnel at 1455.
The Air Alsie Falcon which moved over to Victoia apron last night (once the Solid Air Falcon had departed to Northolt and made some space) remained there this morning and departed to Northolt just before the G-IV. It used the same callsign as yesterday - MERMAID 6455.

Closer inspection of it at its new parking spot this morning revealed that it carries the motif of LEGO - maker of toy building bricks - suggesting either that it is operated by Air Alsie on behalf of Lego or that Lego is a regular charterer of it. It was definitely on HMG business today.
