Anyone know the reg of the Virgin Atlantic aircraft that carried out the sad duty.Know it was probably a 346, but could'nt catch the reg when watching on the box this morning.
was it not diverted to Glasgow so as the team could receive a heros welcome?
Think I saw UG on the nose u/c doors
On evening of 28th a Virgin Flight VS9984 left Johannesburg G-VBUG. That was an additional flight to the normal Virgin flight from Jhb to London.
We were sorry to see the supporters who generated a great atmosphere and thankful that they took some vuvuzelas with them ;)
Just removed some posts, please keep it related to RB or Aviation please.

Was this flight exclusive to the England team and their entourage?
Thanks for the feedback. Airnav. Was'nt my intention to cause a riot as not a football buff myself. I merely wanted to find out the aircraft reg. Chris11 and Southwest tks for the info.If it was indeed G-VBUG, then she is one of ''My two Virgins'', as I flew in her KLAX-EGLL 20/21 Sept 07.
DeeJay,
We have no issue at all with your post :) We know people get excited about football.

Not sure - I would assume so.
(Not that many English supporters would have wanted to accompany the team ;0 )
