Main VS 787 Thread

Apparently she is on her way as VS824......arriving LGW at 12.17.....saturday.

It does indeed appear she's on her way. VS824 just flying over Calgary as I type, according to flightradar24.

She is indeed on the way. Over Canada at the minute around 4 to 5 hours away from gatwick

Thanks for the info Fuzzy14, I will be at Gatwick on Sunday so will look out for her!!

G-VROS....

Virgin just tweeted this from their official account, @VirginAtlantic

"The first @Boeing 787-9 in Europe, #GVNEW lands 12.27 today at @Gatwick_Airport so pop down #avgeek" and attached a video of Birthday Girl's first flight.

Due to land into LGW in the next 3 hours. Due to PIK around 14:00 Saturday for 15 mins.

Also due to EDI 15:20 for 15 mins

For anyone whos interested, shes over Devon at the minute descending over the south coast on the way to LGW

Just watched her take a sharp left hand bank over the Kent countryside amongst a very moody sky to line up on final approach to LGW.

Welcome to the UK Birthday Girl!

And ... touchdown!

Currently sat on a remote stand next to the tower at LGW... I'd love to get a pic but its still too dark outside!

G-vnew has just been delivered at gatwick http://www.eturbonews.com/51326/virgin- ... dreamliner

With G-VNEW now arrived Boeing and VS are wasting no time. G-VAHH (Dream Girl) is in final assembly Position 3 at Everett LN 246 and G-VOOH (Miss Chief) is due to get started shortly with Parts arriving Position 0.

Looks like G-VNEW is showing herself off all over England & Scotland this afternoon. Approaching Edinburgh now....

G-VROS....

Flight crew training today, then in the LGW hangar tomorrow.

Caught her at PIK today, stunning. Love the shiny livery when its brand spanking new!

Landed, sat for 15mins and departed to Liverpool.

She was in Cardiff today, not sure where she's off to now currently flying over North wales.

Has anyone seen or got any pics of the inside in particular the bar area and the UC cabin ?

I've been looking but can't find any pics. They're keeping this pretty close to thier chests!

That's what I'm thinking aswell ,I'm trying to decide my seat selection for dec but keep changing it !!

I'll be really really surprised if it's anything other than the same seat as Air NZ have installed on their 789 fleet in a 1-1-1 format.

Thanks for that , what I'm interested in finding out is if the bar is on an angle like the 333s or not like the old style and how close seat 11a really is to it as on my seat map it shows kind of in the bar area if you know what I mean

I have heard that there will be a flight over to Colorado for the 'great and the good' of Virgin in their new toy..? Anyone know anything about this?

There is a flight to Atlanta next week for the Press launch, with live bands performing during the flight, is that what you are thinking about?
