Good find Darren. I seem to recall the first one - may have seen it overseas on on the web somewhere not sure, certainly not UK TV.

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday,

I certainly remember the 1st one and am 99% sure it was in the UK and the note at the bottom of the page states

'We plan to collect every Virgin Atlantic advert broadcast in Great Britain since 9/2006 when our website went live.'

BTW the 25th one has been making a re-appearance as have not seen it for a while. Maybe its in anticipation of the birthday and (hopefully) some amazing offers ...

The 1st one was definitely in the UK. I remember not liking it very much when it was on.

I think the one of the Wright brothers actors was the same person they used in the 'if you wanted to sleep with him, you'd have married him' ad.

Am I correct in thinking that the first one was launched to coincide with the centenary of the Wright brothers' flight?

I definitely remember the first advert and it was shown in the UK because I remember seeing it on TV a lot. However I don't remember the second advert.

Interesting that those first 2 are both old ads, yet they both have the new(ish) VS logos on them near the end?

Helen Mirren did do a Virgin ad. Stretching out in the seat with some line like 'you are looking at my legs. aren't you'

Ahh here, got the quote wrong

You say it like it's a bad thing. The same thing will happen to you when you get older...
