Superb shots of a stunning livery. Hope we get to see her up here at some point.

Very nice! I'm sure she'll be at BFS sooner rather than later.

The anniversary of the first Aer Lingus flight is on May the 27th so there might be something around that date, however there is no word yet of any special flights....

Don, the Aer Lingus retro looks a bit like the Lufty retro when excluding the colour, similar lines etc. Both great looking aircraft though, a shame that retro liveries are never applied to widebody aircraft, probably due to all the extra paint required.

Finally saw her myself, although not as nice as Hamerhead's shots. Still nice to see her in real life at last  ;D  Just spent a rotten time in Dublin, any time I was at the airport, it was dull and cloudy and whenever at the hotel or just hoping on the bus home, the weather was lovely and sunny. Typical  ::)
