Interludes in Ireland

[Kirley]

Probably some of you have seen these pictures before but for those who have not I would recommend a look at Keith A. Jaggers record of his trips round Ireland in the 1970’s.

He did two trips:

1970: Rosslare–Dublin–Belfast and around Ulster &

1976: A round excursion of Eire from Limerick, and a full day in Dublin

You can download it from here http://www.jaggers-heritage.com/resources/Irish%20Interludes.doc

Gloriously evocative of that time.

I was interested by his questions about two Aer Lingus planes at the end of his 1976 visit.

 

BAC1-11 EI ANG was sold to Nigeria and written off after over running the runway in 1992

 

Boeing 707 EI ANO was sold to Libya and scrapped in Cairo in 2006.
