Virgin picked for new Bond film
Whether it's by boat, car or motorbike a super spy has to get around somehow.
And of course jetting around the world in search of bad guys is essential for James Bond - who has chosen Virgin Atlantic as his airline of choice.
Sir Richard Branson's planes are set to feature in the new Bond film Quantum of Solace, starring Daniel Craig once again as 007.
Virgin aircraft have already appeared in Casino Royale along with a cameo role by Sir Branson. But in a real-life twist, Virgin's arch rivals British Airways edited out the mogul and digitally removed the Virgin logo from their in-flight screenings of the film.
It's expected that BA will again announce their plans on what their Bond policy will be when the film comes out in November.
Virgin has also been revealed as a marketing partner for the new film and will promote the release around the world.
Sir Richard said: "Virgin Atlantic and James Bond make a great partnership - slick, smooth and renowned the world over. Casino Royale propelled Bond to greater success and we're certain that Quantum of Solace will set an even higher standard."
