VG London Athens
I think Branson got some ludicrously cheap deal bailing out British Mediterranean Airways or something similar back in the late 80s - inherited a couple of planes on the cheap, and their slots from LHR to Athens which were lucrative enough to keep under Virgin colours. Since disposed of route because:
1. wants to focus on long-haul routes
2. Virgin Express fly via Brussels
3. he's mates with Stelios, doesn't want to compete
PS Anyone else pining after Concorde - BA have towed it out to just in front of the east engineering area where the road crosses the apron, looks like it's there permanently. Best views as you drive across or head for gate 16.
