Yes, VS is a different airline... 
Slightly less shoulder room if on a window seat and slightly less aisle room if on an aisle. Tend to get a warbling vibration around row 12 that some report makes sleep difficult (including me). Other than that, probably won't notice the difference on main deck of 747. Cabin looks more modern.

seems like we still don't have the 77W window alignment info here?

It is a longstanding aviation practice in many places, whether at a large airline or a small flying club, to use the last two registration characters as a shorthand identification, spoken in phonetic alphabet, so we have "Zulu Alpha" and "Bravo Delta" as the oldest and newest BA 777s.
I'll get my coat.

2. A 3 class plane with the front cabin running from rows 1-4 (not full rows), plus 11-12 after Door 2 with a total of 40J seats. These operate solely from Gatwick.
For the plane spotters these have registrations in the range G-VIIx, GE engines and date from the late 90’s. They are fitted with tiny video screens and a tape loop system. They are due to be fitted with new WT, WT+ and Thales AVOD.

So are the 772s that do the BOM a mixture of all three four-class types (GE non-AVOD, GE AVOD and RR AVOD)?
Or have I got that totally wrong?
