I saw a photo of G-VROM Barberella today landing (or taking off!) in Dublin. Now I know that the Gatwick aircraft are last of the aircaft (apart from Manchester) to get the refits, but I thought they (the refits) were taking place in Dublin. Anyone got any info?? Thanks[8D]

that would be really interesting to know, i suppose the upper class sections are smaller on the Gatwick aircraft so they could get those done alot quicker.

I saw the photo on http://www.jetphotos.net by searching under Virgin Atlantic, and there was a photo of a Virgin 744 with reg. G-VROM. If it is not on the first page, then go onto page 2, 3 of the result. Try the 1st page though first- to be honest, I couldn't believe a LGW 744 in Dublin, where the refits take place. It would be interesting if anyone had an idea - or even better, knows the true story!

The photo I've seen (http://www.jetphotos.net/viewphoto.php?id=226753) is from May 2002. It was probably in for maintenance or a previous refit.

Sorry- I guess G-VROM Barberella wasn't recently in for a refit then, forgot ot check the date - sorry for wasting your time!
