Has anyone else seen the rumours of this livery returning for one of the A339s for a tribute for the NHS?

I’ve seen a registration of G-VNHS being suggested with the name of Matron with the flying lady being modified to an NHS nurse.

I don't think the A330 fuselage is long enough to accommodate that text because even on the A340-600 it was a squeeze and that plane is longer than anything else Virgin currently operate.

Couldn’t they reduce the font size or go retro and use the writing style from the red wrapped rear livery?

You could be right as they are most likely going to reduce font size if they want to go through with this

Again cash is king. I wouldn’t expect any special livery for the 339s. I do however, as I’ve said before, expect the first aircraft to be named Eve.

There have been mentions of one being registered as G-VEVE with the name of Spirit in the Sky.
