Since the episode is ready now and is already several months late I thought that I shouldn't keep you all waiting until the weekend so here we go, I hope it was worth the wait :)

I flew Virgin Express in 2000 from LHR to BRU and was very impressed. During the very short flight the crew still served drinks and a snack.

Great! Unfortunately one would be hard pushed to find that level of service on some scheduled carriers these days :/

I've a partially done script on them, as is usually the case nothing is "open and shut" and I get bogged down in details and following little nuggets of info.

Wow, what an interesting episode about Virgin Express! My dad was a former pilot for Virgin Express and subsequently Brussels airlines so it was nice to hear the history of Virgin. I've always taken an interest in the airline, having flown on it as a child. I would like to write out a simular history (for private use) so I would like to know where you found the information. Thanks in advance and regards from Belgium!

Hi! Thanks for your comment :) My research was mainly through the use of French/German/Dutch Wikipedia's (which had more in-depth information than the English language one) combined with articles that I found through Flight Global and Flight International as well as fleet information from the airfleets and planespotters websites. Good luck :)

Where did the l1011/DC10 operate?
@ExpoAviation

Information is very limited on that, the widebody (along with the A320s) were drafted in to cover a shortage of pilots (the airline was expanding that rapidly they couldn't get pilots on-line quick enough). It is my understanding that they were used to "consolidate" two 737 flights into one rather than to sell extra capacity with them operating out of Brussels.
