Around the world in 8 days
- Feb 22, 2009
Richard has embarked on an epic 8-day journey around the world as part of Virgin Atlantic's 25th Birthday celebrations this year, and to mark the launch of Virgin's newest airline V Australia.
He has also launched a global competition to find the best Sir Richard look-a-like. The quest to find his carbon copy began at Madame Tussaud's in London, where he came face to face with his own waxwork and 25 Richard wannabes.
Richard and his Virgin Atlantic look-a-like spot squad will travel from London to Hong Kong, Sydney and Los Angeles, before returning to London.
The 8-day mission will also coincide with the inaugural flight of V Australia launching on 27th February. The airline will fly between Sydney and LA, and for the first time will allow passengers to fly around the world on the same airline carrier.
You can follow Richard's look-a-like search via the Virgin Atlantic Facebook page.
If you bear an uncanny resemblance to Richard, simply upload your picture to the Virgin Atlantic Facebook page and you could have the chance to win two return flights and VIP tickets to Virgin Atlantic's exclusive 25th birthday party in New York.
Watch the video to hear more from Richard himself - and for his word on those rumours about Honda and Formula 1...
