Dublin Movements, June 1977

Catalina N4760C was a very nice visitor - one of several survey aircraft to visit Dublin during this general time period. 


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This aircraft made a forced landing at Lynn, WI on March 22, 1983 and that was the end of its flying career. It was restored for display as an OA-10A at McChord AFB, WA. Cessna Titan SE-GMX on the 13th was en route to Baldonnel for demonstration to the Irish Air Corps. Dornier Skyservant D-IBUF made a visit to Baldonnel on 20 June for the same reason but I'm not sure if it transited Dublin. It is now preserved in the Deutsches Museum at Oberschleissheim near Munich. 

A bigger demonstrator at the end of the month was Fokker F27 PH-FCX, which was a conversion of an early passenger F27. It is now on display at the Aviodrome in Lelystad, as a conventional passenger F27.


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

JAT's 707 YU-AGJ arrived at 2320 local time on the 15th for attention in the hangars. Britannia EI-BDC on the 17th was still in basic RAF livery with no titles. It was a temporary addition to the Aer Turas fleet while EI-BBH was on lease to Cyprus Airways. Also of note for historical reasons is Pan Am 707 N404PA.  It retained the same registration and, converted to an electronics testbed, flew for MIT until October 2020, so far outlasting most, if not all, of its sister Pan Am 707s.

Dublin Movements, May 1977

Star items this month were the trio of ex-French Air Force Douglas Skyraiders, making a quick refuelling stop on the way to the USA.  They made a stream takeoff from runway 06, climbing to flight level 95 (9,500 ft.) towards the FIR boundary at Greenore, thence to 60N 10W.  These were part of a batch of ten bought by businessman Jack Spanich, five of which were ferried to the USA in 1977, while the remainder were sold to other buyers while still in France. Sadly Mr Spanich was killed in the crash of one of the aircraft in 1984. http://skyraider.org/skyassn/warstor/spanich.htm

A maintenance visitor of note was the Bahamasair 1-11, making a fairly long trip for a check with Aer Lingus. Boeing 737 EI-ASB returned to Aer Lingus service after a lease to VASP (as PP-SRX), wearing a hybrid livery.

Brand new Short 330 N52DD was painted by Aer Lingus for US feeder airline Command Airways.
