G-VFLY (Dragon Lady) is Finnair's OH-LQA
G-VHOL (Jetstreamer) flies for Iran Aseman Airlines
G-VSEA (Plane Sailing) was supposed to go to Iran Asemen Airlines, but the deal was scuppered because of sanctions against Iran. A deal was then done to lease it to a Portuguese Charter Airline which went bankrupt. As there were no other takers, the aircraft was scrapped
G-VAIR (Maiden Tokyo) has been purchased by Mahan Air (along with 7 A340-600s previously operated by Virgin)
G-VFAR (Diana / Molly) went to Lake Charles, Chennault last year for part out and scrap (as shown on a photo posted onto the internet last December)
G-VSUN (Rainbow Lady) flew to Orlando yesterday for part out and scrap

Some of the A346's are in the hands of an Iranian airline Mahan Air:

G-VAIR
G-VGOA
G-VATL
G-VMEG
G-VFOX
G-VSSH

They also have G-VAIR, an A343 stored but with the whole nuclear negotiation thing going on, they got them through a front Airline called Al-Naser Airlines based in Iraq. As you can imagine the US Government aren't very happy and say they have a blockable interest in the planes and may seize them outside Iran seeing as they broke sanctions.

G-VELD is on approach to SFB as VIR870P right now. This will be the final sector for the last of the VS A343's I believe.... Last one to arrive in SFB for scrapping.
Virgin Atlantic
