The link to this livery website is great, and the Ryanair livery looks very smart on an Airbus. Most unlikely that Ryanair would ever get an Airbus, since they fell out of terms when Ryanair went to Boeing with the Airbus 'final offer' and then signed Boeing and effectively gave the 2 fingers to Airbus.

However, you may be interested to know that around 1988 Airbus flew an A320 to Dublin with Ryanair image on the side, which took the form of the Ryanair name on the side of the fuselage (at that time they had moved from the 2 R's to a plain white tail). At that time Ryanair were 'kicking the tyre's' on the idea of getting Airbus but finally decided that they couldnt afford it. I have a picture of it in a book called Aviation in Ireland.

Maybe if Ryanair take over any Airbus operators and rebrand them Ryanair in the absence of being able to get good pricing on another batch of Boeings we may then see a Ryanair branded 320!
