Looks like she's circling out at sea near Southampton. Possibly returning to LGW shortly.

Probably dumping fuel. Currently at 13,000ft.

Looks like she's back down, wonder what problem beset this flight ... been quite a few recently. Seems to have a return to the air time of 12.50 so hopefully nothing to serious.

This is all thats mentioned on the flightradar24 Facebook - hopefully it doesn't cause any copyright issues.

Virgin Atlantic, Boeing 747, VS33 from London to Antigua is circling outside of Bournemouth. Probably dumping/burning fuel before returning to London. No 7700 squawk, reason unknown. http://fr24.com/VIR33C

More than likely a medical as expecting such a short time back in the ground
