Our remaining stored A330, G-VKSS, has departed to Ciudad Real in Spain for further storage, so that's all our big jets gone now.

And a good old runway spray as she departed too. And that, I presume is the last we'll see of Virgin Atlantic in 2020...

Nice shots Allen. You made the right decision on where to go.

Cheers, it was the only spot I could get to, given the fact I was still at home as it popped up on FR24 about to push back !

You lucked out in them going from Bravo as those of us on the other side got blocked by the BA Airbuses just after the nose wheel lifted.

Yeah I did kind of wonder if it would be up in jig time like the other Virgin departures, but it seemed to take a longer roll. Mind you it was fuelled for a longer repo than Manchester of course.

You might see the jumbo again as I heard or read somewhere they were going to retain one.
