Is G-VZIG in maintenance or in storage at the moment?

Virgin has just uploaded a Youtube video where they weigh a 787 and that plane is G-VZIG so that explains why she wasn't flying much

Is it just me or do any other v-flyer members think that this forum has become a plane-spotting information page recently! know there’s not a lot else going on but day after day there is an updated post on where a particular aircraft is based, it’s maintenance or what it’s future status might or might not be.
I’m so looking forward to reading about realistic trip plans, reports and generally sharing/discussing info about passenger travelling ... just like we did in the old days

Totally agree Hev60 - if I wanted to know about plane movements I’d have VS Source in my favourites instead of V-Flyer

As a long standing member, I will say I enjoy the updates, and let’s face it, it’s the only VS news really at the moment (although I do also have VS Source and FR24 in my favourites, but then I am a bit of a geek!)

I too cannot wait to get back to discussing which champagne we were served as a PDB (anyone remember Gardet?) or how amazing the crew were on my flight!!

It’s coming soon though...we will fly again!!
