Aer Lingus 737 Assistance

Jennings

Hello all,

I'm working on a series of illustrations of Boeing 737s for an upcoming book. I've searched all over the web, but I can't locate the ship name (St. Somebody, undoubtedly) of Aer Lingus's first 737-248, EI-ASA. Lots of photos, but none clear enough to read the name. I'm illustrating the left side of the a/c, where the name is generally in English.

If anyone has any information, or could point me to a fleet list that shows the names, I'd be most grateful!

Cheers,

Hi there,

I assume you've searched on airliners.net by airline? I would hotlink a few images for you, but the site doesn't allow it. There are quite a few anoraks (and one or two employees) that will be happy to assist, I imagine.

Edit: The aircraft in question was called St. Jarlath, from http://www.irishaircraftspotting.com/ein_old_fleets.htm

Hi,

Yes, I've searched every airliner database, aircraft database, and every other thing I can think to search. Loads of photos and aircraft history, just nothing that showed the name of that particular aircraft. So St. Jarlath it is then.

Thanks!

Very nice indeed. It's good to see a piece of history remembered in this way.
