Smile What? No Flaps!

So what happens to a Virgin crew when they forget to set flap for take-off and subsequently have to abort after the config. warning has sounded leading to another aircraft having to go-around? Even more interesting is the subsequent take-off from it's new starting position some 400 metres further down the runway with "full-power if that's OK with you" on a calm, hot day and I suspect a limiting runway (3200mts). No location given(trying to save someones blushes) but suffice to say it happened earlier this week.
