Do Virgin have their own maintenance hangar at Gatwick as I heard G-VLIP being towed to "Hangar 7" I believe and later on there was no sign of it on the field. I also note that A340 G-VAEL arrived for maintenance from Heathrow on the 31st August, presumably for an end of lease check.
So my question is, which one is Hangar 7 and is it Virgin's or if not, to whom does it belong?

This might help, but you will need to register first? It is free though.

I remember reading a while ago that VS were opening a hangar in LGW. I think they have taken the gold colour building close to the fire station (behind it) and oposite remote stand 180. May be wrong but there was a virgin a/c parked there on the weekend so put 2 +2 together and hopefully am getting 4!

The hangar behind the fire station used to belong to FLS, not sure if it still still does since the Swisstech buyout/merger. I'd have thought that VS would have their name on it if it was their's?
There was a VS 747 outside of it last week, I think it was Tuesday, but can't remember.
