Anyone else see this on the

The shakers are still in Upper. The planes are now being used in PE.

They were in the upper cabin on my recent VS4 flight!!
Crew probably borrowed them from PE to replace the missing cocktail shakers. y)

On VS024 on Thursday it was neither W&O or the cocktail shaker, just some generic plastic effort.

If Wilbur and Orville are the silver plastic salt and pepper set that you get in PE I had them. I was tempted to keep them too but saw the underside of them that said "nicked from Virgin Atlantic"

We were on VS004 on Friday night and were actively encouraged by the cabin crew to take them which we did, of course, to be polite!

Not sure where that "etiquette" has come from - as it's certainly not what crew have told me on previous flights...

Think the 'boule' glasses hold less champagne
and definitely more tricky to hold. And less elegant, or is this just me who thinks so???

Disappointed that they weren't present on VS16 on 10th June.

I would love a set. Great novelty value!
