The entire fleet of 14 aircraft at its peak was operated by Virgin Atlantic. The airline now has twin-engined aircraft, including the Boeing 787-9.

The A330-900 is going to be delivered this year.

The aircraft was called Ladybird. It became part of the Virgin Atlantic fleet in 1997. Since then, it has been scrapped.

Next week, there will be more Airplane Art.
