These two used to be the backbone of Aer Lingus's domestic fleet, and as such I flew in them often. They also used to fly BRS-DUB and BRS-ORK. Being unpressurised, they flew through the weather, which being Irish weather, was often interesting. I never had a problem with this, but some of my work colleagues developed a delicate shade of green in the face. One in particular used to get distinctly queasy when the engines were running at different speeds, giving rise to a cyclic drone throughout the cabin.

I still had both lungs back in those days, so the lack of pressurisation wasn't a problem.

What was it like to fly, as opposed to fly in? Uplinker?
