Ok, so I'm aware of EIN's former fleet, Clyden's pair and another one (EI-AYO iirc), have any of you photographic types come across any more over the years?

Am busily repainting for FSX and I'm after some of the less commonly seen planes... Just a shame the Air Corps never had any

Not on the Irish register but Northern Irish, I presume:

Cheers for that, will have to have a go at them!

Interestingly, a but of digging reveals that Clyden's EI-BDU was formerly G-AKNB and spent time flying for Air Ulster... Now that's gotta be a sign!

Dont forget N4565L that belonged to the Hibernian Dakota Flight

Not on the irish register but based here while they existed

Apple Air was another proposed airline that had a DC3 EI-BSI.

Fantastic! Cheers

Another 2 photos of EI-ANK attached that may be of help to you, the colour scheme was green and was actually Nigerian Airways colours, its previous owners. I have a photo of EI-ARR somewhere, but can't find at the moment !
