747-123 G-HIHO ended up with Virgin Atlantic in 1990 coming from Qantas who had been leasing it out.

She was refurbed with 14J and 474Y seats and became G-VMIA and we used her solely on the Miami or MCO for some years.
She was always full and operating out of LGW at MTOW.
Still had the underfloor galleys - The only one in the VS fleet.
Named Miami Maiden, then became Spirit of Sir Freddie some years later. She ended up on the BOS route more often than not.
