1:400 Diecast: Virgin Atlantic Airbus A340-642 G-VYOU "Emmeline Heaney" (Phoenix PH11987)

G-VYOU is an Airbus A340-642 delivered to Virgin Atlantic on 23 August 2006, carrying MSN 765. The aircraft was named "Emmeline Heaney" and leased from Doric Aviation. It operated on Virgin Atlantic's long-haul routes including Sydney, Los Angeles, and Johannesburg until the carrier retired its A340 fleet in 2019, when G-VYOU was stored as 2-EALJ before transfer to Azman Air as 5N-AAM.

Livery & Visual Details

The model depicts Virgin Atlantic's classic livery. The fuselage is light silver-grey. Engine nacelles, vertical stabilizer, and wingtip leading edges are bright red. "virgin atlantic" appears in stylized dark blue/purple on the forward fuselage above the wing, with "AIRBUS A340-600" in smaller black text below the cockpit windows. The "Flying Lady" silhouette in white with a red scarf sits near the nose — a signature Virgin Atlantic emblem. Winglets carry the Union Flag in red, white, and blue on their outboard faces. All four engine nacelles are red with dark intakes. Registration G-VYOU is printed in black on the lower rear fuselage.

Model Craftsmanship & Collectible Notes

Phoenix Models issued this as PH11987 in 1:400 scale. Die-cast metal construction captures the A340-642's elongated fuselage — at 75.3 metres one of the longest Airbus variants. Union Flag winglets and the all-red engine scheme make this a visually distinctive piece for any Virgin Atlantic collection.
