Between Aer Lingus Ryanair and Aer Arran there’s not a great deal else at Dublin…
Two of these (ex-Swiss) Aer Lingus white 320’s made an appearance…
I think we saw the entire Aer Arann Atr fleet yesterday, they just kept on coming and going…
That wing is a design classic in my book…
Two shots of my personal highlight of the day… Aer Lingus A330-300, EI-JFK on take off late afternoon. I’d hoped to clap eyes on either EWR or DAA as I’ve flown on those. I saw this one come and go, also LAX and CRK. Lovely stuff and as a bystander local said to us… “Jaysus I don’t know how they get off the feckin ground”:D
The lovely Ryanair, Jaguar jet..
Well I travelled on Aer Lingus and it was tidy and fine, I’ll do a proper trip report later, too tired now. Here’s a few snaps in the mean time…
I was 1971 aged “babe in arms”, don’t remember much but apparently it was a BIA Herald from Glasgow to Isle of Man. First flight I recall was 1981 on a BY 732, Glasgow-Jersey. didn’t fly again for an amazing 14 years… Stornoway-Glasgow. Been making up for lost time ever since.

Great pics, whats the first one of, is it a sign at Dublin?
It forms part of the entrance gate to the Aer Lingus staff club.
Back with more after midnight probably…
An attractive looking Swiss visitor…
There’s a feature in the last Aircraft Illustrated on Atlanta, they’ve registered a UK business called Air Atlanta Europe.
I’d really like to think they’ll be 1/400th but at those prices I doubt it.. oh well the search continues.
I measured my 1/500th scale A346 and it’s 15cm approx, my 1/400th scale A346 is 18cm approx and a 1/400 Boeing 744 is 17cm approx. So my guess is that those Virgin models will be 1/500th.

Ren, you might wnaa book your 763 into maintenance, appears to have a nose wheel missing.Now what was that about bits falling off airliners… LOL :rolleyes:
Yes the missing wheel has been logged and maintenance have been notified, the good people of Southern Armenia are currently scouring the fields for it (lol).
Actually I took that picture and e-mailed it to Gemini Jets in the USA, they are sending me a replacement wheel for it.
