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

Mine was G-VAEL Maiden Toulouse from JFK to London.

Tinks - you've upset me now...

I Flew LHR-LAX back in 1994 - but I didn't know the planes had names back then, so I don't know!

[honey lamb]

Mine was G-VELD African Queen - appropriately to JNB

IIRC, you were my first, Tink! Well, your namesake anyway.

G.VGAL VS029 to barbados

Concorde which flight and what date - there are archive aircraft movements on t'internet!

I can't remember the name of my first VS flight but it was 10th Dec 1996 LGW - MCO.
The first I know the aircraft name was on G-VAST Labybird to LAS in Aug08

G-VGIN (Scarlet Lady) B742 VS075 MAN-MCO 02/06/1998 in economy (IFE was Gallery which had screens the size of postage stamps).

My first 2 VS flight are the only 2 VS flights I don't have my seat number or boarding card stubs for

Mine was LGW to St Lucia in 2006 but did not take note of the name. We were upgraded at the gate, so remember it well. Not happened since mind!!

Sorry can't recall the name but it was a 747 LGW to MCO in February 1992. Nineteen years ago ii)

LGW-MCO G-VLAX 'California Girl' in 1992. She even had the original red strip livery back then.

Another highlight, if I may, was flying Austin Powered (G-VAST) in 1999!

For me it was G-VROC "Mustang Sally" on the LGW - HAV route last June

14th May 1994 - LGW-MCO - Can't remember the name unfortunately but of course it was a "jumbo" as I called it then!!

Can't remember the 1st, but the 2nd was, IIRC, the inaugural Friday MCO-LGW flight (1992). Among the passengers was a youthful Richard Branson, who came round with the drink run

Spirit of sir freddie....1993 I think, to JFK.
