The same bidder is currently winning both sick bag auctions at £155 and £56 respectively !!

Either they are a huge Star Wars fan ... or they dont travel well! Im hoping its not the latter!!

£155 for a set of sick bags though!! Blimey!!

Speaking of which ... have you seen some of the current bids? £57 for a 1999 Sleepsuit ... £56 for a complete set of sick bags? I know its all for 'chariddy' and a great cause ... but some people seem to have more money than sense! :D


I know ... i mean £10,000 to name a plane. [}:)];):D

Yeah Nick, it might be up to... only £20k by then, a snip ;)


Hey, I'm just saying, it's pointless to waste a bid when the auction isn't even over for an entire week.

Or how about this, just bid the highest amount you are willing to pay, because you only pay the second highest bid anyway so you really could end up paying less.

Hey - If I had a wife I'm sure she'd cost me more than that to have "my name on her" for a year... [:0];)

My cheapie suggestion - for what it's worth.

Wait till the winning bidder names the aircraft then... change your name to match - [8D]

Full Details here.

That could be the least expensive solution Buffy at £39 or only £34 if ordered online!

Paul (or whatever his new name will be ;) ) could spend the rest on a party for his fellow V-Flyers to celebrate his success :D

Wohoo!

My small holdall arrived this morning! Very nice, and bigger than I was expecting. Ideal for a long weekend, marvellous, got one next week!

The rubber chicken didn't come with it, it's simply for comedy effect :D

Very nice Dean!!

The only problem being - next time your on a V-Flyer weekender - everyone else will have one of those holdalls, it's a bit like 'standard issue' :D

My Centurion has already had a beating this month, more Xbox 360's than you can throw a stick at have been charged to it. Along with several VS flights (of course!).

Thanks,
Richard

No comments about replacing the ones that crashed or using them to build a Linux farm please. [}:)];)

The name-a-plane seems to have slowed down now, settled at 11.3k - wonder if everyone is now holding off until it gets nearer the date.

Well, I've just received my new black leather holdall (small) and am very impressed with it.

A great buy in my book! [y]

Looks like the personalized aircraft auction is winding down, only 8 hours left. Lots of other cool items have been added too, like a pair of J2000s, an inflight therapist station, and an inflight bar. I really like the seats, but they must be picked up by the buyer unfortunately.

I am sure HF would like to fly to LAX on her own plane come Christmas time.
