Nope,strangely enough I was talking to an ex UAS member today about Iolar when it was up at Langford Lodge.
I wasn`t sure if it was still airworthy,as I have heard little about it in the past few years.

Looks like there will be a bit more than just the Iolar and Blades present...  ;D


From a contact at DUB....

EI are hosting a party for staff and families on the 28th. It will take place behind hanger 6. DAA are designating that ramp area as landside for the day to permit this. over 40 vintage aircraft to fly in "with aircraft from airlines around the world present." Not sure what this will turn out to be. (Mueller did mention to staff last year that he had invited other European airlines to fly their own retro jets in for the day)[/size][/color]
[/size]Cabin crew in vintage uniforms will be present. It is mainly a party for the youngsters. Iolar will be taking a few lucky people up for a spin. We are told the finale will take place on RWY 11/29 at 1936 local time.[/color]

Ahh crikey, another busy day at Dublin! And I had just organised a shift swap at work to work in the morning instead of the evening on this day so I could watch the Champions League final. Rotten!  :-\
