Branson, Richard Branson

James Bond loves Aston Martin cars and when it comes to even higher flying it now seems that Sir Richard Branson's Virgin Atlantic is 007's airline of choice.

For Virgin today announced that the airline will again feature in the new Bond film Quantum of Solace, starring Daniel Craig as 007.

This followed the cameo appearance that Sir Richard made in Craig's first outing as Bond in Casino Royale. Virgin aircraft were also seen in the movie.

Virgin's arch rivals British Airways cut out Sir Richard and airbrushed the Virgin logo from the film when showing it in their in-flight entertainment system.
