Virgin Maiden
AIRBRUSHED FLEET
In 2002, Wayne Harrison was contracted for Virgin Blue, airbrushing its full fleet of aircraft (over 80 planes) with the Virgin Maiden, including Pacific Blue aircrafts that travel to Fiji and New Zealand, and also Virgin's Embrayer fleet.
As the new Virgin Australia no longer has the Virgin Maiden fully painted, Wayne is the only artist to have ever painted the Virgin Maidens on every Virgin Blue aircraft.
Wayne was also asked to attend the first ever Virgin Blue Hanger ball, a fund raiser for Virgin. The winner of the auction had his daughter's name put on a Virgin Aircraft, paying a quarter of a million dollars for the privilege. That night, Wayne hand painted the name onto the plane in front of everyone. He also presented the famous Sir Richard Branson with a pair of personally airbrushed shoes which Richard signed for Wayne to keep.
