I woke up early to catch this shiny new bird in a welcoming spring sunshine. I have to admit it was rather odd at first seeing a Virgin Atlantic livery on a NB! :p

Thanks MSR, Tom, Heslop.
I think it would look better in the same metallic red scheme the wide-bodies are in? But a great livery all the same.

Great shots! 😀 I really like the livery =D

I did a comparison between BA and Virgin and BA worked out cheaper for late April. £156 for Virgin and £130 for BA! MAN-LHR-MAN!

Yeah they were short lived which was a real shame, but thankfully I got to see them nearly every day when I lived near LHR 🙂
Hopefully their low fares will do them well!

Very nice. That livery still looks great, even on a smaller airframe.

Thanks Rob, EGTC, Culpano.
A lie in this-morning was tempting, but having checked the weather I knew the best was before 10, so that limited me to the 08:45 arrival 🙁
And EGTC needless to say both of those operations were short lived. I was looking at the Little Red fares on the VS website and I have to say they look very reasonable… Almost too reasonable! In-fact I’m surprised they have seats left at the prices they’re selling them for.

Nice one Matt ! I didn’t get up early enough for this flight and got the one that arrived in Heathrow at 12:15 but it was cloudy then 🙁

Takes me back to the 90’s when we used to get an A320 and A321 in virgin livery (and sometimes virgin sun) at Heathrow.
Nice shots 🙂

Nice shots Matt with some nice photography weather! 😀

Thanks ThreeSpool, yeah this was LHR. The inaugural flight of Little Red from MAN.

Nice shots, Matt. Where were they taken? LHR?
