Ryanair in Boeing livery EI-DCL

beer enigma

Saw this today and just curious as haven't seen them change livery since the days of eircell & jaguar.

Presume it's some tie in with the Boeing deal ?

Apologies for poor quality but it's pouring down in Stansted

It was the 800th 737-800 if i remember correctly from a thread here on the forum before

Boeing do this for all of their customers....milestone aircraft (500th,600th, 700th etc )get Boeing livery with operator titles.....
...I would assume the operator gets a little discount/bonus to do this.

Embraer also do this. although a LOT more modestly:

Looks like it's descending into a black hole from that photo tbh...

zone 1

i think someone said here in early thread that the paint is peeling away. that plane must be 10 years old ???

Preset No.3

Charlie Lima is 9 years old.

Emirates must have avoided this horrible livery with the 777. Thankfully, the Boeing generic with the name on the fin looks awful.

Yep apologies, I was on the run and the rain was lashing and phone camera on wrong setting...

It was flying Stansted - Wroclaw

Yeah its the 800th 738 to be built, was a beautiful plane in her day, but its in bits now, the crews even hate flying on it now, constantly going tech for silly little things

I stumbled upon this pic but I have no idea how recent it is or where is it taken - any ideas? http://www.skyliner-aviation.de/photos/EIDCL.jpg

I stand to be corrected but it looks a bit like a photoshop effort in part to my eyes anyway... look at the reg, looks a bit dodge ?...

Looks legit. Airliners.net have the livery in their database.
Taken March 3rd at Maastricht:
