There was a feature in last month’s Aircraft Illustrated on Air Atlanta which explained the situation with the Virgin 747. Interesting read.

It used to be G-VBEE before transferring to Air Atanta Icelandic along with TF-ATW which is now back to G-VSSS. That plane is always based at Manchester and regularly breaks down. This is why G-VSSS is there as back up and occasionally a VS 744(usually G-VGAL comes in to operate MAN-MCO). It was built in 1981, and has an MTOW of 377842 kg.
Where the hell do you get all this information ????

G-VLIP Is this LGW or is it LHR, neither it is MCO the third hub for VS, or you would think so just by this pic. G-VLIP in the centre with TF-ATN on the left and sister ship G-VROY on the right..
