Hi all,

Just got back from a day trip to Munich to see the mighty Chelea lift the European Cup (yay!,,,), and to my surprise, on my return to the airport, I noticed a Virgin Atlantic plane on the tarmac!

Wasn't sure if I was seeing things but then we drove past it on the way to the runway. Couldnt get a great look view as it was dark, but I *think*, it had VS-Vblu on the side? (but I could be wrong?)

lol

and

"sorry no champagne in economy either. and as this is an EU flight there is no duty free either so unfortunatly you won't be able to buy one of our fine fragrances for (the current) Mrs A.

You know Sir Richard? How nice for you. Yes he is a lovely man but you still have to stay in economy sir"

This sort of suggests it wasn't for the Chelsea team.. maybe just another charter going over there?
