My neighbour and good friend Geoff A was the Captain of the 747 that day. A very modest and lovely man and his claim to fame now? He looks after our cat when we are on holiday (and what a fantastic job he and his lovely wife do!). You couldn’t wish for a better friend, full of knowledge and as I mentioned extremely modest (but a great laugh!)
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! This video sends shivers down my spine! I absolutely LOVE Virgin Atlantic, I don't fly anyone else! They're the best AND they never strike! I'm flying on them to Miami next week :) I salute you Virgin Atlantic VS! PS- I LOVE their theme song!
I was about 10 feet away from you, and my camcorder misbehaved, so thank you - it was an excellent experience, especially as the Vulcan was cancelled - see you next year, and great video.
I am bloody GUTTED i was at the show on Saturday 27th.. That was a very excellent post for Biggin Hill, it shows the air fair at its very best.. I go every year and post videos on here from the air fair, but i must say that was awesome.. Thanks for sharing.. Maybe you could contact me as i will be there next year for sure, we could meet up at the show... tico0808
Your video is brilliant. I was lucky enough to be the crew member working on the flight, it was amazing and looked really good seeing it all from the sky. Sadly, i don't have any footage from the ground. I know the geoff the captain and richard and jim the first officers are keen to get some footage, would it be possible for you to send me the footage if i forward you my e mail so i can share it with them. Cheers stuart
Yeah I agree with you! Wish they had an off switch! Wish someone would invent a board you can hold up (like those FOUR or SIX boards at a cricket test) that says STFU!! :)
I remember this one. Like if you think that the red arrows pilot behind the virgin was screaming this is as slow as it goes and the virgin pilot was screaming FASTER FASTER FASTER!!
Sure, no problem - it's actually recorded in HD - drop me your e-mail address and I'll be happy to burn a copy onto DVD for you. I'll see if i can also post the HD version.. Cheers Steve
BA---any day !!!!! 5 hours on the runway at Keflavik as flight had to dump fuel on way to SFO then refuel in Iceland without so much as a cup of tea----Cabin crew were just plain lazy
I was the Cabin Crew member on this flight and I have to say, it still gives me goose bumps watching it now! The best day of my flying career so far!
Stuartlsaunders ledsdd in the world to me and my mom
good for u you must of felt sick on that XD

the 747 pilot is really showing some skill. keeping a bird that big in the air at such slow speeds.
fantastic video .... i was there and was absolutely mesmerised .... i can watch this over and over again

That is something you do not see everyday...beautiful sight!
Richard you LEGEND!!!!
At 1:45 he says VA's first aircraft was an early series 747-100, in fact their first aircraft was G-VIRG a 747-200.
Magnificent boeing 747 and red arrows just amazing planes they are

I wonder how far the numbers were stretched to get this so low. Couldn't do it now I bet. 💕💕
that was so cool!!!!!!!!
Fantastic
A month ago i flew with tis very, very beautiful airplane (G-VFAB) to L.A. without realizing it..untill i saw this video :D
Sry 4 my bad english :D
thats my friends dad in the boeing 747!
brilliant absolutely bloody brilliant..
Yeah I agree with you! Wish they had an off switch! Wish someone would invent a board you can hold up (like those FOUR or SIX boards at a cricket test) that says STFU!! :)
wow great video!! 10*
owwwww amazing plane
the formation break was simple, but very effective
it certainly was very good to be there!! My first biggin hill air show!! How do they coordinate the turns??
this airline is sooooo coool! :D
You wouldn’t believe this was travelling above 600mph, the shear size of the 747 makes it appear to be travelling slow
this is coool i love it
Lovely Film- What camera are you using?
imagine if there was people on board..
"F*ck!!! I thought i was going to L.A! !!" haha
awesome
good video pity about the commentary.
I remember this one.
Like if you think that the red arrows pilot behind the virgin was screaming this is as slow as it goes and the virgin pilot was screaming FASTER FASTER FASTER!!
Biggin hill sadly missed
that's Richard Branson for you
FRANKIE GOES TO HOLLYWOOD RELAX (NEW YORK MIX) - it was playing through the PA system at the time.
i guess virgin told them to play it, to connect with their ad, it uses the same song
love the virgin atlantics theme song
GREAT VIDEO!!!
what's the music?
The best airline ♥
@399music i think u may request the flight but u would have to give a reasoning, otherwise u have to stick with what u get...
the kid got it right : " That was awesome "
i love it :)
I WANT THAT PLANE
hes going back!
Wanna be flyin' dat 74 one day ;D
them comentators are really funny lol are they from radio2? sounds like it
WOW NIIICEEE
Did this Virgin Atlantic 747-400 have passengers on board at the time?
they should make a VA stunt team!!!!!!!
A shame the pa drowns out the jet sounds......
Did the 747 do a loop also, or just the fly past?
L
Isn’t the music copyrighted?
Probably the best day of that bus drivers life getting to fly with real pilots
Sure, no problem - it's actually recorded in HD - drop me your e-mail address and I'll be happy to burn a copy onto DVD for you. I'll see if i can also post the HD version..
Cheers Steve
from miami
Is it Ben Lodge? xD
Ithought they would play opera music
GO BRANSON
the exact date?
should be a concorde instead
Jesus, if only the commentators what shut the fuck up sometimes! Good video.
Only in Britain
@nighttrain334 nah he s indian ( sikh )
Virgin RULZ!
WOW 5*
0:36 FRANCE SMOKE FLAG LOL
What's that horrible noise in the background? Didn't know such a horrible sound was possible.
BA---any day !!!!!
5 hours on the runway at Keflavik as flight had to dump fuel on way to SFO then refuel in Iceland without so much as a cup of tea----Cabin crew were just plain lazy
Virgin cabin crew are too concerned with chatting about their social lives to bother about doing the job they're paid to do. Idiots!
agreed John ----BA all the way for me--so bloody professional !!!!
I've never had a bad experience flying on Virgin, the crew has always been really polite with me
Same here. Always had a great experience with VA.
Great pilots but sadly to say "CRAP AIRLINE"
I've never had any issues with them before
In what way?
