Dublin Movements, August 1977

My records for this month are somewhat limited, owing to vacation periods spent elsewhere. The most notable visitor was the Iranian C-130 on the last day of the month - this of course being when the Shah still ruled that country.  The Rolls-Royce-operated Heron is now preserved at the De Havilland Museum in London Colney.

Dublin Movements, April 1978

Industrial action by Aer Lingus clerical workers continued and this brought a variety of carriers in to maintain at least a limited schedule. There were of course many charter companies in existence and it was not yet summer, so there was capacity available, I expect. As can be seen, Dan-Air Comets appeared on several occasions and I don’t think the type was seen much more at Dublin, after this flurry of activity. G-BDIU and G-BDIV were former RAF Comet 4Cs and as such were probably a good purchase by Dan-Air, as they had no doubt been well looked-after in their military days. The French Noratlas was visiting on one of their sporadic navigation training flights; 170 was broken up after retirement but its cut-down fuselage pod survived in private hands for many years in Les Regnacs, near Bergerac, in France. 1 April      D-ABEC          B737-130             ...

Dublin movements, December 1975

Not too much of great note this month, though there were a few non-standard visitors, particularly around Christmas time.  The TAROM Il-18s were most likely carrying ships’ crews. Aero 145 G-ATBH was a regular visitor and a smart example of this sleek Czechoslovak-built taildragger. 1 December EI- ASH            Boeing 737-248        Aer Lingus – noted crew-training in this garish livery which it sported for quite a while after lease to Transair Canada   SE-DBT         DC-9-41                     SAS 5 December N780TW         B707-331B                TWA 6 December D-ABES         B737-130 ...
