Great shot Michael - is the wing obscuring it or is it missing the foxtel bulge on the top of the airframe?

Darren,
I think VH-VUU has not been equipped with Foxtel Live2Air yet? VH-VUT is the latest one before VUU in service with VB & it hasn't been fitted with it yet so i highly doubt that it has been fitted with it. I'm happy to be corrected.

Nothing after VUN has been fitted

Damn - I'll miss channel 13 to note max speed and altitude on each trip for my log.
 Not to mention that I don't mind swiping the work amex for live2air on anything over the Melb or Bris Flts, but I guess if I was VB I wouldn't invest my capital on any further rollouts based on my perceived usage by most pax.

I also notice that there is no 'flying-the-flag' lady on the forward fuselage. You can see the name 'Lady Blue-tiful' as someone mentioned... but no lady!
 Perhaps she is yet to be stuck on? Or perhaps the lady is no-more?

I have a feeling I've read on this forum in the past that the 'lady' on the nose is airbrushed on by a Sydney artist after delivery. I think all photos of VB planes in Seattle or Brazil prior to delivery tend to show no Virgin 'lady'.

Re Live2Air, just a personal view but I think they'd be better off with a decent AVOD system such as you see on the big international carriers.
I'd far prefer watching a movie, some full sitcom episodes, or listening to some albums on my flight rather than watching some Foxtel show which is already halfway through and which i can't pause... As for news covereage, there are some good live text news services already available on the good AVOD systems.

Nose art is applied after delivery and before entry into service. I agree Steve it would be good to see some sort of AVOD system. Maybe RED like V Australia and Virign America would be good and bring all products into line.
