Dublin Movements, March 1978
This was a busy month, with a variety of carriers not regularly seen in Dublin, as Aer Lingus grappled with the effects of a strike by 1,200 clerical workers. I have included a sample of the hire-ins, which involved some aircraft being retained for several days, such as the Montana, Transasian and Eagle Air 707s/720s. Passengers who I am sure just wanted to get to their destinations had to accept whatever airline and aircraft type could be provided - good if you were an enthusiast but less so if you were a regular Aer Lingus customer. As previously mentioned, Aer Lingus painted some new production machines for Shorts and the Saudi Skyvan was a nice example. No doubt it remained officially on the UK register while in Dublin but it was nonetheless interesting to spy it with Saudi marks applied.
