Some of today’s activity at Dublin, with the inaugural revenue flight of the retro Aer Lingus A320 the main event.

Accessible on foot but only with a walk. The SAS is around mid-point on runway 10/28 while the Turkish landing image is at the 10 threshold./ If you look on GoogleEarth you should be able to work out roughly where they were taken.

Nice shots, mate. Can you tell me if the place you took them from is easily accessible on foot, please?
Cheers
Drew.

That’s correct, and it does not seem to have operated any further flights on its return from Stuttgart.
It did a flight into Manchester this afternoon and I missed it 🙁

Nice and sharp! We don’t get to see any Air Lingus at my airport, but LN-RRA (and B) is a weekly (if not more often) visitor.

That retrojet is stunning! Thank you Aer Lingus…..and thank you Sf, for posting it.;)

Like that reto livery.
I seem to remember the original stripes were a paler Green though?
You may be correct – certainly, from photos, types like the Viscount appear to have had a lighter shade of green. Maybe they just went for whatever was deemed the closest match available.

Nice 🙂
I believe the retrojet spent its first day on Dublin – Stuttgart.

Ah, so the new A320 is in service? I spent close to 7 hours at Heathrow today wondering if it might pay a visit, but it never did. A countless number of other A320s did pop in though.
Really great, sharp shots! 🙂
