A330 Registrations and names

I was just wondering if VS have reserved any good registrations with the CAA for the new A330's and whether any names for the aircraft are known? :?

I remember several registrations/names being listed ages ago for the A340-600's that were never delivered so I wonder if they would be used. They were:

G-VJAM Lady Marmalade
G-VLUV Sweetheart
G-VFUN Party Girl

I am keeping my fingers crossed for the Lady Marmalade name as I think it's brilliant.

Does anyone know of anywhere where there is a list of used and unused registrations?
We could go through them all and come up with our suggested V-flyer list and then giggle like school children whenever someone flies on one.

Yeh there used to be a book that was published each year containing all the UK registered aircraft (including those to be ordered). I am not sure they still do it but it used to be stocked by Borders (we are talking 5 years ago). They had all the registrations of VS aircraft before they were delivered but without names.

Reminded of a couple of similar threads, although some time ago.

this one has a few more suggestions, but unfortunately the link in it back to the original thread isn't working - it was topic 2013 if any mods can find it.

Anyway, my suggestions back then (2006) were:

G-VOLE Spanish Dancer
G-VAMP Femme Fatale
G-VFIZ Party Girl
G-VICY Snow Queen
G-VPEG Gypsy Woman
G-VEVE Miss Temptation
G-VFAY Fairy Queen
G-VSKA Reggae Queen (another for the carribean route)
G-VASP Cleopatra
G-VERA Sweetheart
G-VEON Time of your Life

V-HOL and V-ROC are already in service as Jetstreamer and Mustang Sally respectively

V-HIP and V-TIP can't be used together as IP goes on the wings and the wheel cover (and wasn't V-ZIP once mooted as a registration) Same for V-TEA and V-SEA currently in service and V-BOS and V-ROS ditto |:)

I knew messing with these names had a possible duplication.

oo) hats off to your knowledge oo) at least some of them aren't in service though not that many once its whittled down!

One more taking a Risk:

G-VTIC - Extra Merritt (or Top of the Class)

Thanks for that. I know I mentioned V-ZIP and of course that was the reason that ZIP couldn't be used either.

Looking at past listings for Virgin.V-SKY was China Girl Reg 1994,V-KISS was Sunkissed girl reg 2000,Could they be bringing back those names.Note that V-SKY crash landed at HR in 1997.Both were A340-311 Type Planes.
