Virgin Expansion at LGW?

Is there any truth in the rumour that Virgin are to take over the FLS hanger at LGW?
(The ex Dan-Air hanger and now used by BA?)

With the amount of money being spent on fleet expansion I would not think this to be top of the priority list!!!

Surely Virgin must be getting close to the situation that Dan-Air found themselves in.
A large(ish) fleet and no hangar? Hence the suggestion from the CAA to consider building a hangar at Gatwick?

Or possibly build one at another location to coincide with the delivery of a new a/c to the fleet!!!! Pure speculation, but a good rumour to start.

I thought they were planning to build near the BMA hangar at LHR. Any jobs going?
