"Lady Penelope" was a great livery, particularly being Virgin Atlantic's first B744. I managed to photograph the aircraft arriving and departing at Miami back
on 25/04/2005.
Suggestion:
All spotters to contribute $250 to buy the aircraft and locate it at "The Mound". Cut away and raise the roof of the upper deck to make an observation
area for spotters and photographers. Turn one of the galleys into a Cafe, and play aviation videos on the IFE. Convert the downstairs hold into
accommodation for visiting spotters. Gold coin donation for entry.
Better still, get Qantas to donate one of their remaining B744 when they finally finish up, to recognise the huge contribution "The Queen" made to
Australian Aviation over five decades, and particularly as Sydney was their home base.
