Virgin Flies High with Paul Windle

Virgin Atlantic has tapped Paul Windle Design to create a new Birthday Girl flying lady illustration for the airline’s latest Boeing 787-9 aircraft.

The first Virgin Atlantic Dreamliner has been named Birthday Girl in celebration of the 30 years since the airline’s inaugural flight across the Atlantic.

The flying lady dates back to the first Virgin Atlantic livery in 1984. Paul Windle's special edition, designed exclusively as a one-off for the first Boeing 787-9 in the fleet, reveals the character's whole face for the first time.
