Virgin blue aircraft names
 
Does anyone know if names have been applied to VH-VUV, -VUX, -VUY, -VUZ, -YFC and -YFE ? I have -VUW as "Sydney Siren".

And when the rebranding happens, I wonder if the naming tradition and applictaion of the "flying lady" on the nose will continue ?

These have always had names and correct on VUW 'Sydney Siren'.
VUV - Ruby Blue
VUX- Ballina Ballarina

VUY was going to be named 'Byron Beauty' but clearly wasn't and the rest of newies werent either. Along with VBI(Smurfette) and VBN(Southern Belle) which had repaints.

With the move away from "blue" you have to wonder if they'll keep all of the names ending in blue or will change them.

How come the rest (ie not VH-VOZ) of the V Aus fleet did not get names?

Thanks Tim ; the VB staff must have fun standing around the water cooler or coffee machine thinking up those names.

VH-YFC is "bondi beach" and a rather grey flying lady in the early pics from Christchurch

VH-XFB - Cable Beach
