With the summer holiday season in full swing, charter flights were to be seen in some numbers. DC-8s and 707s were the main equipment for the long-range operators and for Aviaco, which was almost the only Spanish charter carrier to be seen in Dublin during this period. I remember the CP Air DC-8 on the 27th being delayed for several hours, but it was worth waiting for! The carrier's orange, red and bare metal livery made for a striking sight.
Boeing 720 N1776Q was noteworthy, as it had been Aer Lingus's first jet, delivered in 1960 as EI-ALA. The two Viscounts of Swedish operator Skyline were former British Midland examples. SE-FOX returned to that carrier in 1978 but was withdrawn from use at East Midlands and eventually broken up. SE-FOY also later returned to BMA and was restored as G-BAPF, in which guise it flew for many more years, including service with the garishly-marked Hot-Air. It then survived for many years as a training aid at the Home Office Fire and Emergency Service Training Centre at Moreton-in-Marsh.
