The story behind the image
Leaving Dublin after a prolonged weekend was hard. It had been so beautiful and full of new impressions (like the final concert of the Robbie Williams world tour in 2003) – yet we had to leave.
We were early at the airport, and there it was: the colorful aft section of an Aer Lingus plane. It carried the registration EI-CDD, a Boeing 737-500 which belonged to the airline since 1991. The back door was wide open to get in some fresh air.
I like the airline logo and brand colors. Both are perfectly matching the island of Ireland and it’s stunning nature. They contrast in this photo so well with the dull grey airport building.
Nice.
P.S.: The aircraft was sold to a Russian aviation company in 2005 and operated until 2013 for Rossiya Russian Airlines before it was scrapped.
