I'd imagine there's still a signigicant enough number of cars travelling to Sandringham as well with additional things that need to be transported for her right?

Your guess is as good as mine but i'd assume so.

She should take a bus.

There probably is, but the only thing that's going in the helicopter is the queen and maybe a couple of companions - all the rest will travel by road anyway regardless of how she gets there. The only comparison is the Bentley vs. the helicopter.

Man, I need to get out more. She flew in a Sikorsky S76 and based on average fuel consumption the flight would have burned about 38 gallons of aviation fuel.
The car she normally travels in is heavy and has a 7 litre Bentley V8 that does about 19mpg. That works out at about 7 gallons to get to Sandringham from Windsor.
Yup, its a lot worse. (not taking road entourage into account)
