Virgin 747-200 at LHR and A340 go-around
Hi all,
This is a pointless post really, simply as an attempt to satisfy my curiosity.
Whilst at LHR earlier today, (Friday 14 March) I briefly watched the action from the car park we had parked in.
During the short time I was there I saw a Virgin Atlantic Boeing 747-200 land. I thought these had been grounded a long time ago, and was even more surprised to see it at Heathrow. I would have expected to see it at Gatwick if anywhere! Anyone know what it's up to?
Also, and more interestingly, I saw a Virgin Airbus A340-300 go around. This made an awesome sight! Anyone know what the problem was? The time was around 3:30pm, and I believe it was operating the VS24 from Los Angeles.
Thanks!
