A Bit of Fun: What Was the First VS Aircraft You Flew On?

The date was Friday 14th June 2002
LHR to EWR
I think it was VS001

not sure which aircraft however.

^ That'd be G-VAST

^ That'd be G-VAST

Good knowledge!

My first VS flight was on G-VLIP Hot Lips in October 2002.

My first VS flight was 747/200 MAN/MCO July 1994.
747/400 MAN/MCO August 1997.
747/400 MAN/MCO July 1999.
747/400 MAN/MCO June 2001.Pretty Woman
747/400 MAN/MCO June 2003.English Rose
747/400 MAN/MCO June 2008.Ladybird
Next will be 300/333 MAN/MCO June 2011.

Would love to know the names of the first 3. Premiun Economy was on lower level then, in the nose cone.

Don't think you Aug 97 and July 99 flights where on a 744. The 744s at LGW arrived in 2001 with Hot Lips, English Rose, Barberella, PRetty Woman before further 744s where transferred from LHR in due course. In 97-99 there were no 744s operating ex LGW. It would have been a 742- most probably G-VLAX, G-VJFK, G-VIRG, G-VRGN, G-TKYO which were the original 742s that then transferred to LGW. You would have been too early on those dates for the second batch of G-VPUF, G-VZZZ, G-VSSS etc.

G-VROS or English Rose from LGW-MCO on 28/02/06 (I think!!). It was my first long haul flight and I also remember being amazed at the ife; however after discovering avod with BA in 2008 the 'Nova' and 'Odyssey' ife was very underwhelming on my most recent visit to Orlando last year!!

G-VROS or English Rose from LGW-MCO on 28/02/06 (I think!!).

I looked it up for you. On 28/02/06 G-VROS went to Barbados.

VS27 to MCO was operated by G-VAST (Ladybird)
VS15 to MCO was operated by G-VLIP (Hot Lips)

First VS flight was G-VSHY JFK-LHR, May 2008
