Side view of a white, 4 engined jet airliner flying from left to right at a low altitude, with undercarriage lowered and flaps extended from behind the wings, suggesting it is about to land.
The plane has purple "Virgin Atlantic" titles on the upper forward fuselage, with black "A340-600" titles a bit further forward and lower.
The engine pods mounted under the wings are red.
The tail and part of the rear fuselage are the same red, outlined in purple, with seemingly hand-written white "Virgin" titles.
There is an image of a woman wearing a red leotard and trailing a Union Flag from her arms in a flying pose under the cockpit windows.

From what I can see - as a non-expert observer - there's a lot of people who are going to find themselves in Amsterdam instead of London today.

This is from looking at the FlightRadar app.

I'd choose The Netherlands over England just at the moment.
