Virgin 33 postscript

More details of Saturday's Virgin 33 diversion to Shannon have come to light. Sir Richard Branson's daughter Holly, 26 and a qualified doctor was at the centre of the emergency, administering assistance to the passenger who had suffered a heart attack during the flight. The passenger, Paul Norbury, 47 fell ill shortly after the aircraft took off. The decision was made to divert to Shannon due to his worsening situation. Holly was travelling to Antigua to spend Christmas on Necker, the Branson family private island. Also on board the flight was Formula 1 boss, Eddie Jordan.
