This 346 was originally delivered to Virgin in February 2005, going on to fly with the airline as 'Sleeping Beauty' until January 2015. The plane returned to service in February 2018 wearing these special titles and is pictured lining up on rw27R for departure. Alas 'Sleeping Beauty Rejuvenated' was finally retired from Virgin again in February 2020 and now flies for European Aviation (Maleth Aero) as 9H-EAL, having undergone freighter conversion in September 2022.
