Virgin Atlantic: Ruby Tuesday

[crazedstargazer]

I don't get it, the planes have names? Like the monkeys/gorillas bag tags have names on the kipling bags?

[plutusplutus]

I flew Ruby Tuesday out of Heathrow to LAX

[nellieoneill]

shit clip ruined by bmi baby

[Boomernavy]

Richard has it going on. I wish our American airlines treated it's passengers as well and appreciated us as much as Richard does.

[tetramoo]

wingtip fences..!

[weno13]

i saw the rudders moving cool

[philipscotland]

yes flew this 747 to HAVANA and i could only call it tired tired tired, have travelled on buses beter than that boeing.

[bigwill619]

@philipscotland you can't compare a plane to a bus compare a plane to a plane

[BeckhamIsEngland]

Wow! I went to New york on this from Heathrow years ago. I love how Richard Branson names his planes! Is there a video of 'Lady Penelope' anywhere or 'Austin Powered'?

[celticmarty1888]

@BeckhamIsEngland Type in Virgin atlantic Lady penelope ain the search box and there is a video of onboard

[DarthMaul747400]

Great video here of my fave aircraft! Ruby Tuesday can also be seen on the ITVV DVD of flight V19 London to San Francisco flown by Captain Alan Carter and First Officers Allan Rattigan and John Cullom in Oct 2000!

[TheHayes993]

[liverpool2738]

I love this plane , i went on it coming back from oralndo 5 months ago!!

[evilblackrolf]

[o0B670o]

been on this plane and I found out one thing

B744+Virgin = Sexy :P

[dantpenny]

Do you know the postcode for this hotel/beer garden, i wouldnt mind going one day but im not sure how to get there without the post code.

Can anybody just turn up to the viewing area? is there a charge to get in there?

[Minimad222]

i was on this plane going to orlando but not this date !

[domjw0012]

WOW, this video is awesome. You really can't rival the grace and individuality of the Boeing 747-400. Also, I've flown on this aircraft, Ruby Tuesday :D

[roxetterc747]

this plane was on ITVV´s movie Boeing 747-400 Virgin Atlantic London Heathrow-San Francisco

[jts001]

is there anything more majestic than a 747-400?

[PRSOV]

space shuttles...

[qwertdr]

Concorde.

[Cactus732]

Obviously Concorde but I would also argue A330-300

[bigbopper321]

What airport is this

[1995Elizabethxx]

Hey, I was just wondering, when was this filmed, I myself have been on this plane from Manchester to Orlando international airport and I was just wondering if you could tell me when this was filmed? Also, I love watching the planes take off from the Airport pub :) x Thanks x

[tescointergel]

i spent 8 hours in the sky and 2 hours delayed on on that plane lol

[chelsccfc]

i love going to birmingham airport to watch the planes but of course you dont get planes as big as a 747 at birmingham so going to manchester airport for the day at this sightseeing spot would be great ! i want to be cabin crew for virgin atlantic they're such a great airline

[laurengxxx]

haha i've been on this plane XD

I was on it there and back :)

was a great flight :)

x

[magapoot]

Ruby Tuesday is based at Heathrow as well. Watch the ITVV video from Heathrow to San Francisco.

[mcpcshowcase]

Hi megapoot,

She used to be based at Heathrow but is no longer based there. I visit Manchester and Heathrow regularly and Ruby Tuesday has never been spotted at Heathrow.

In May, when a 747-400 is switched to an A340-300 Ruby Tuesday may be allocated to Heathrow but it could be Pretty Woman, English Rose or Barbarella too.

Thanks for the comment!

[phanco]

i just flew on this plane a month ago.. out of gatwick into mccarran

[mcpcshowcase]

Yeah she is based at Manchester/Gatwick. She hasn't been seen at Manchester for a little while - I think because the A340-300 has been put on Manchester services from May 2009.

[boeingnerd77]

do you know if virgin are giving their a340's in the new colors,if so will they keep the bit of purple on the tail

[borisl2]

no they have removed the purple from the tail its just like v australia

[sweetie3077]

wow, where is this spot to watch the planes please???

[mcpcshowcase]

Hi sweetie3077,

This spot is located at the Airport Hotel Manchester Airport which is located at the threshold of Runway 23R. Its not a great place to see aircraft take off from (better for landing) but you can get some really good close up shots.

[poorpilot00]

its the airport pub to the east of manchester airport, on Wythenshaw road.

[Koolasa]

I spent 11 hours on that very plane.. it was very nice, nive IFE and we got seats by galley so could fully recline without annoying anoying anyone, also there is more leg room and the seats are wider than the them of Barbarella.

[burtonboy67]

wow....didnt realise the pub was that close...ill be goin there for deffo...and its soooo much closer than the viewing park......aaawesome fella well done.

[Emz14x]

Im going to California in a few weeks on this plane :) how long does it take from London to California ?

[mcpcshowcase]

London Heathrow (LHR) to Los Angeles International (LAX) takes 11 hours 30 mins. LAX to LHR takes 10 hours 30 mins.

These figures are taken directly off the Virgin booking site and are based on the flight times of an Airbus A340-600.

LHR to San Francisco takes 11 hours 5 mins. San Francisco to LHR takes 10 hours 10 mins.

Again these figures are taken off the booking site but based on a Boeing 747-400.

You won't be on Ruby Tuesday though as this is based at Manchester/Gatwick only.

[Emz14x]

Ok thankyou :)

[peteboy1113]

whta a nice hobby- is this manchester, also whos-BMI- a short haul airline like flyby- do they fly from manchester too. is -XL AIRLINES -still flyin, they are a hoilday type carrier like thomas cook- nice vid.

[mcpcshowcase]

This is Manchester. It's filmed from the Airport Hotel beer Garden. BMI is a long and short haul operator but has recently moved all its long haul operations to Heathrow. BMI Regional and BMI Baby flights still operate from Manchester as far as i'm aware. XL have now collapsed and no longer operate.

[RIZZAEL]

AWESOME SHOT BRO...LOVE IT AE

[htalaver]

VIRGIN ATLANTIC plans to have a Hub for the Americas from Costa Rica in Lib Int. We hope to have the Virgin Atlantic Costa Rica covered the Americas and Europe. Good Luck

[natezemanek]

Wow!! What luck to be able to go there!!

[littlebritain787]

thanks mate. I know wer that is.

[littlebritain787]

Thanks I live in Vegas and I know that ther is a road that is not busy wer u can watch all the jets commin in. Ther is also a Virgin flight 747-400 that comes in at about 1 to 2 oclock each day. thanks.

[littlebritain787]

Please tell me wat airport that is mate.  U get pretty close to the action!!

[mcpcshowcase]

Hi,

This is Manchester Airport in the North West of England, UK. Manchester Airport is renowned for it's viewing facilities. This video was shot from the Airport Hotel Beer Garden. At the other end of the Runway an official viewing park allows you to see a lot more action on both runways at the same time. If you have a look through the videos on my channel you will see videos from the Airport Hotel and Official Viewing Park. Well worth a look if you like close ups.

[LER3554]

great vid!what model camera used in your video? thanks!

[mcpcshowcase]

For my first 60 video's on my channel I used a JVC GZ MG-330 which is a pretty basic camera. In videos where I have used editing techniques I used the bundled software which is Called Cyberlink Power Director 5. It's a great camera apart from night filming where it becomes pretty poor, but it has 30GB hard drive. I recommend it.

I have just bought a Sony Handycam DCR-SR210 so all my new videos will be filmed with this.

Thanks for your comment, i'm glad you liked the video.

[jeffman61]

Great vid! Thanks for sharing. I guess you figured that there would have been no point in filming the next jet that taxiing to the runway as nothing beats the sight of a 747-400 taking off! They are the Queen of the skies!!

[mcpcshowcase]

That and the fact it started to rain quite heavily :0)

Can't wait for the A380 to start flying into Manchester. To see that taxi past the Airport Hotel pub garden will be a sight and a half.

[MediaFetishnetwork08]

Thanks for sharing flew with virgin last year and am gonna fly with thme this year my favourite aircraft is Barbella and English Rose

[RedoutesChoice]

Straight to my favourites and 5 stars! Ruby Tuesday is my favourite plane, love her! Thanks for sharing.
