FingersR & WHBM
Had a similar experience a couple of years ago on 'California Girl' MAN-ORL where the feeling was of a 'plane that had reached life expiry - found out later it was new to Qantas in 1974! Service standards not up to the usual for Virgin, crew didn't seem too bothered and spent much of the flight in the galley chatting. Turbulence was horrendous on last 2hrs of flight, CG reeked of full sick bags by the end of it! CG is still going as a freighter in Africa I think.
