V-Flyer

Looks like G-VBOW has been renamed...

I flew on her on Friday and you can see by the attached image she's now called Amazing Grace?



Most online sources, including the VS site list her as Pearly Queen.

Anyone know whats going on there...

Renamed last month according to a note on https://www.planespotters.net/airframe/ ... tic/r1mvj6

Doesn’t say why though.

Not updated on Virgin’s fleet page though. https://flywith.virginatlantic.com/gb/e ... -787s.html

I read somewhere, (can't find a source link atm), It was renamed after one of the leaseholder company employees daughter who has an illness/sadly passed away. The a/c is one that is owned by the lease company so was renamed. - will try and find a source link and update post later

Looks temporary too.

That being said, some of the 789s are in desperate need for a repaint - wings in particular. Should take place when they go for refit (hopefully!)

If you think the paint is bad you should see some of the early TUI 788's

I got on a Bangkok Airways about 6 years ago with plant work so bad you could see the old flybe logo coming though.
