Time keeps getting put back, heard rumours it was dry ice packaged incorrectly that set off the alarm. All speculation ofc, until we hear from the horses mouth, as it were.

No sign of it so far on FlightRadar24 but will keep an eye out.

That's quick my flight on 26/4 is still shown as an airbus so hopefull it will by vsxy or vkss flying out of GTW so will find out Wednesday when I get to twilight checkin .

Someone did say it was a normal landing so obviously looks like little damage should know in the next 24 hrs if it flys out of manchester to mco.

It was marked as VIR75P, the P suffix meaning it is positioning for VIR75. However that doesn't necessarily mean the VIR75 flight tomorrow, and as the Flightradar24 help notes, there is sometimes database errors especially for planes out of position. So take it with a pinch of salt if you will but there is a fair chance it will be operating that service tomorrow.

We are on VS75 tomorrow - April 21.

Might be Beauty Queen then.

SEQ1 and 2 bagged - pointless but illogically satisfying.

Gone for 26 F and G - back row in PE.

No, there will be a full investigation by the relevant authorities and until that is published anything is just hear say.

An odd route, looks like she's heading to the west coast. I wonder if this is a pre-caution?

Probably taken to avoid weather systems in the north Atlantic

The other MCO flights have all taken a more 'normal' direct route ?| ?|
