Manchester - Virgin delays again?

[Beth__WDW23/6/02]

Why is the VS075 flight delayed? it only left gone 3pm today a total of 4 1.5 hrs plus delay? its been going on for the most of this week?
I'm getting abit anxious now,I know we fly in weeks away but I dont fancy being delayed with the kiddies.

Oh no, again?
It arrived from mco on time, I wonder what's going on - we fly on Monday!
They changed planes on Wednesday from Ladybird to English rose yesterday too
I'm hoping for Pretty woman or Jersey girl - those two haven't had many delays at all lately.

VS075 10:25 Orlando Departed 15:07

Yet the afternoon flight wasnt that delayed?

Sorry to go off topic but how do you find out what planes they are using?

You have to know what the call signs mean though , i.e. v-gal = Jersey girl - you can find that out on v-flyer.

I went through that list and made my own so I knew which plane is what and here it is :-

VGAL --------------- Jersey girl.
VROM ----------------Barberella.
VROY -------------------- Pretty Woman.
VLIP --------- Hot lips.
VTOP .........Virginia Plain.
GVAST ---------- Ladybird.
VROS ........ English Rose.
G-VXLG .......Ruby Tuesday.
VWOW .......... Cosmic Girl.

Too much time on my hands.
These are ones that have gone from Manchester.

Had a message from someone on that flight, it was the long range transmitters, apparently.
At least this morning's flight went more or less on time.
