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.
