    It is quite rare in Dublin as i think the two A319's are based in Belfast.

    The two Aer Lingus A319s have been based at Belfast Aldergrove since March 2012 and have made only very infrequent visits to Dublin.

    EI-EPR was delivered to Dublin on 01/07/11 and was then stored in Hangar 6 before entering service from Aldergrove.

    EI-EPS was delivered to Shannon in January 2012 and did not make its first visit to Dublin until 07/12/12.

    True it will be very interesting to see how they compare.

    Am I right in saying the green area on the nose is the only area on the fuselage skin that is aluminium alloy and the rest composites? Why is this does anyone know?

    Pretty much... the A350 is 53% composite, compared to 10% on the A330, 20% on the A380 and 30% on the A400M.

    This page has an embedded diagram showing the makeup of the A350:

    It looks like a 757 from that angle. :)

    No way, the wingspan looks enormous on that.

    Excellent collection. Plenty of types of which good colour pictures are quite rare.
