“I can still turn girls upside down. But times have moved on,” he said
(Picture: Susan Montoya Bryan/AP)Virgin Atlantic owner Sir Richard Branson has said he will no longer be “turning girls upside down”. This signals an end to a long-established fixture of the airline’s flight promotion.
In 2005, in one of his most tabloid-friendly promotional stunts, Branson carried Pamela Anderson on the wing of a Virgin jumbo at New York’s JFK airport. He has also pulled similar stunts with British supermodel Kate Moss at Heathrow in 2009 and burlesque star Dita Von Teese across a Virgin jumbo in Las Vegas in 2010.
