	Virgin Atlantic Back For 'Quantum of Solace' Sir Richard Branson's airline re-teams with James Bond Virgin Atlantic Launches 'Quantum of Solace' Campaign 'You Only Live Once' Following on from the appearance of Virgin Atlantic planes and Richard Branson in CASINO ROYALE, this report reveals that the airline will once again be appearing in QUANTUM OF SOLACE. James Bond loves Aston Martin cars and when it comes to even higher flying it now seems that Richard Branson's Virgin Atlantic is 007's airline of choice. Virgin has announced that the airline will again feature in the new Bond film 'Quantum of Solace', starring Daniel Craig as 007. "Virgin Atlantic and James Bond make a great partnership; slick, smooth and renowned the world over", said Branson. The news follows the cameo appearance that Branson made in Craig's first outing as Bond in 'Casino Royale'. Virgin aircraft were also seen in that movie. Virgin also announced that it would be a global partner for 'Quantum of Solace' and would be supporting the film's release with a series of promotional and marketing initiatives. The Virgin Atlantic president added: "'Casino Royale' propelled Bond to greater success and we're certain that 'Quantum of Solace' will set an even higher standard." Virgin's competitor British Airways cut out Branson and airbrushed the Virgin logo from the film when showing it on their in-flight entertainment system. BA is later expected to comment on what their in-flight policy will be when the new Bond film comes out in November this year.

	I really don't think the words "Virgin" and "007" go well together.

	Inevitable, I suppose. That's the reality of it. Quantum of Dollars. "There was a violent cruelty, a pathological desire to wound, quite near the surface in the man." CBn: ...we have people everywhere Only James Bond is James Bond.

	I wonder if they'll try to fit Richard Branson in there anywhere? Maybe it could be a running gag of the Craig era: "Spot the Branson cameo!" Daniel Craig is a great 007

BA will probably airbrush out 'Virgin', and add 'BA' with Richard Bransons' head smiling out of the cockpit. James Bond and Beyond is back under the new name 'Grow-Up OO7' Please pop in and say hello.

	No biggie, IMO. It'll be like seeing the big PAN AM on the planes back in Connery and Moore's days. FelixLeiter.com Forums: Where you can always get a make on a white pimpmobile.

	Richard Branson is remaking the old habit of Mr Hitchcock, but instead he has to appear in all Bond movies.

	As long as it's not Virgin Galactic. Some people just want to watch the world burn.
