Things you didn't know about VS aircraft

I thought this game up yesterday on VS401 and thought i'd share, if anyone else is keen to play.

I like to think as a community, we all know an awful lot about the VS fleet... but occasionally you find little things that you didn't know and I think it would be nice to share them.

I'll go first...

The TV in front of the A333 bar is actually a touchscreen...!

I only found this out as on the flight I spotted a child frantically touching away. I always assumed it was a normal TV with the controls hidden away somewhere... Who knew.

So is the TV by the bar on the 787-9.

Now, what do I win..? ;-) 8-)

Sadly, I think Bretty is right. I doubt there's much about VS aircraft that the forum doesn't already know.

If I could slightly change the game, how many people know the answer to these:

What are the names of the salt and pepper shakers from Upper Class? (easy)

What is the only commercial film shot and edited on board a series of Virgin flights? (hard)

Edit: Mrs _F has just complained about the second question because some scenes are on Virgin America and Virgin Australia so I've had to edit it. Picky, picky, picky!

Damn, I thought #2 would take longer than that! Other than the initial publicity I've not heard it mentioned again. Impressive work.
