Today myself and Tom wandered over to DUB to spend a day freezing our fingers off while watching the occasional EI A320 and FR B738. After walking around 100 metres past the usual mound, we found another ostensibly purposeless mound of earth that we actually came to love, as it allowed views of aircraft on the runway over the vile new fence that's been constructed.

After spending the day at LBA yesterday and seeing a nice shiny new EI-DLF, it made our morning to be on the very same aircraft on our outbound flight. It was a 737-with-winglets first for both of us! Let's just not mention Cable And Wireless...

The weather, although bitterly cold was a little more forgiving for photography than last Monday. Hopefully today will be my last day of shooting with the Fuji before I get the 350D :D

Anyway, here's a few shots from this afternon...

Thanks for a fun day Tom. Next time let's go when the weather's a little warmer!

Paul.

P.S. He's drawing a dog...

Another day of FR and EI, don't know how you put up with it Paul mate! :D

Very nice selection, I was thinking what the weather was like over there as it was snowing! over here at a few times but it's wierd how your pictures give it the 'summer' feel. Should travel with Tom more often as he seems to be lucky with aircraft. Hertz and now this eh!?

Cheers fella :D

Actually Tom isn't all that lucky. As we were awaiting the arrival of our ride home the Cable & Wireless logojet showed up by our gate. We walked onto the tarmac and much to his disappointment were directed right past CSC and onto EI-DCP! His mood swung from sheer elation and joy to a dismal, dark and stormy state of total depression within the space of around 5 seconds. As a result of this unacceptable outrage, he's decided B738's are nothing more than a pile of scrap metal, and Ryanair will never see another penny of his money again. Personally, I don't believe him :D

Random? Me? I have no idea what you mean...

How's this for random... As we were walking back to the terminal a bus pulled up at the traffic lights next to us. Sat right there in the window was none other than SHAMROCK321! Good to see you Andy, albeit only for 8 seconds or so!

Ah believe me Andrew, myself and Paul manage to talk plenty of random nonesense!

Fantastic shots mate, was a great day.

Lets just say I was 'moderately displeased' at getting EI-DCP on the way home, even if it did have 'City Of Nyopking' titles :D. Bloody Cable and Wireless!

In all seriousness Ryanair were good as ever, on time going, about 20 minutes late coming back, seems to be DUB syndrome, every flight seemed to be delayed!

Great shots there! It was bitterly cold wasn't it :D
Actually Rwy 28 was in use when we landed but then changed to Rwy 10 when i departed.....
We had the same problem! Thinking we were going on winglets, we walked straight pass and onto EI-DCP!
