I don't think Virgin would let me have it as hand luggage.

***If I ever win the lottery then I would buy historic aeroplanes such as this for my own aviation museum,you would all get an invite to come and see them,and yes I could and would fly her.

Sadly she will fetch mega bucks and the chances of me winning any lottery are fairly slim,so I will have to contend myself with the Airfix kit and fly her on my simulator ! but its a nice dream.
