G-GALX at MAN today!

hello,

this virgin "galactic" falcon came into MAN this afternoon, parked on stand 212ish, there where police everywhere, guarding the aircraft, once the vip disembarked there was a blacked-out landrover waiting only metres away.

now i think it was sir richard branson, but im not sure, does anyone know?

just curious....

cheers

Whilst it is his, the aircraft is also available for commercial charter.

That level of security makes me think high level politician or royalty.

Its based at FAB and left from Here. Who or what is on it we never Ask or want to know its better for the spotters not to ask same all biz flights frame and REG nothing else needed Safer that way
as there was potentially a MoP or Royal aboard this flight perhaps it would of been wiser not to reveal its dept point at all
