    They like to hold up a really big paintbrush from a distance to work out the proportions before starting the job..............

    Good pics , kinda got me thinking what a shame that we only get to see interesting aircraft when they have to make emergency landings , the day-to-day traffic in Irish airports is a yawn now.

    If you think SNN/DUB are boring you should come down here to CORK. B738/A320/ATR's, two airlines, that's your lot. :cool:

    Thought about this myself at the time :confused:
    I can only imagine it was not too serious at first (maybe chest pains) and then further on it turned more serious?
