VIRGIN OPS
When Virgin operated there Dublin route besides using the Vickers Viscount they used two Boeing 727s from Club Air of Ireland. The aircraft, ex-Eastern were flown by US flight deck crews and Virgin cabin crew. They were both had rather garish colour schemes and the rumour goes when Richard Branson first saw the 727 land (the one without the turtle on the tail - it had been leased to Cayman Island Airways) at Luton while he was sat out on the balcony next to the Virgin office above what was the restaurant he is said to have muttered - Jesus Christ - and of course it became known as Jesus Christ as long as it was flying for Virgin. The cabin crew also tried to serve a full breakfast on the morning rotations but with flying time around 45 minutes they struggled somewhat!
