British HD TV advert for the 25th anniversary of Virgin Atlantic, one of the best adverts of all time? I'd say so. Everyone welcome at the Frankie forum here: www.frankie-say.de/cgi-bin/yab...

Worked for Virgin Atlantic for many years. Used to burst with pride when this ad came on TV or the cinema. Was beaten to the post as the official best U.K. advert by a bunch of meerkats. Fun fact: at the end with the 2 guys who “need to change their ticket”, they appear twice at the end. The first time, the producers got an underwear model to walk through the shoot and they filmed the 2 guys faces for a “genuine reaction” which you can clearly see on their faces 😂.

One of the nice touches about this iconic ad in the U.K. Was the use of Frankie Goes to Hollywood 's song "Relax" which was banned by the BBC for being too - well you know. So it was anti establishment in every regard - taking down BA without mentioning them etc. Still IMO one of the best adverts ever made ✈️

Very many years ago I was in hospital with appendicitis and my father arrived straight from Heathrow having flown back with BEA from Norway. He was air-crew. He strode into the ward - dark blue uniform, gold braid, cap under his arm, all blue eyes and milk chocolate (as the RAF used to say) - every single nurse took one look, their jaws dropped, and they lew like bees round a honeypot. I couldn't believe it, "That's my daddy. What are you doing?" His photo can be seen on RAF 62 Squadron Sgt Clifton. Ha ha. Bless him.
