Hello,
Found the first photo of G-VBUG on planepictures.net..no varga girl on the nose yet...
http://www.planepictures.net/netshow.php?id=589092To me the name looks like Lady Bird but isn't that G-VAST but it also looks like it could be Lady Bug...

your right it does look like Lady Bird but im sure that it is something else, i would have been quite fond of Queen Bee.
Great find on th pic btw. that new livery is becoming more likeable all of the time

I've also just noticed its a A340-642X, is it right that it's the first HGW or has the photographer added the X by mistake?

Yes, this will be VS's one and only HGW for while given this week's order cancellations...

This topic seems to be getting discussed in two threads, but with regards to the rumoured cancellations, how and when are Virgin planning to grow, and what are their reasons for the cancellations?

http://www.airteamimages.com/42517.htmlThis shows that it is called Lady Bird....same as VAST but with a space in between. I would have prefered it to be called Lady Bug at least it's different.
