Oh I hate to rub it in Allen , but I had the pleasure of the jumpseat DUB/GWY/DUB as the Captain’s guest (my friend!) on an Aer Arann ATR42 – it’s a noisy, but lovely aircraft. I also jumpseated BHD/PIK a few years ago when I was a Gill Airways employee. I was travelling stand-by NCL/BHD/PIK and was to be ‘bumped’ in BHD as the flight was full from BHD/PIK (there were 9 seats free before I left NCL that day, incidentally!!!) and then the hostie asked “I don’t suppose you’d like to sit in the jumpseat?” – I politely accepted so as not to cause a scene and expressed my elation loudly as a huge scream inside my head!! YIPPEEE!!!:D

Before my time, I hasten to add.
Eric, how far is Portmanock from Rush ? I remember standing on the beach at Rush as a kid watching planes on finals to Dublin.

Great pictures everyone and great reports. I always thought that the symbol on the tail was a harp, until quite recently I was told that it was an angles of some sort. Knowing that, I still think it looks like a harp! I’ll have to try and come along to the next meet which involves flying, this one was just quite difficult because there was a possibility of me going to Australia this week.

An odd looking aircraft by Beech, one of those “designed by committee” jobs…
By: Ren Frew - 18th February 2004 at 10:51
Air Wales and Euromanx also visited…
By: Ren Frew - 18th February 2004 at 10:49
Some other European operators where around including AIr Luxor, Alitalia and Lufthansa…
By: Ren Frew - 18th February 2004 at 10:48
I’m guessing by the logo towards the rear that this is one on the new 738’s based at PIK ?
By: Ren Frew - 18th February 2004 at 10:47
The cargo area was quite busy, with a number of A300’s for various operators including this TNT one…
