I got back from Dublin visiting family this morning to Southend - living in Leigh it's so much better than going from Stansted as I used to, and I'll certainly be doing it again as it's a £10 taxi to home in Leigh.

I went Tuesday afternoon on an ATR42-300 (EI-BYO - this one in fact - Report: Aer Arann AT42 near Isle of Man on Oct 7th 2008, smoke in cabin) and came back this morning on an ATR72-500 (EI-REM) with a very bouncy and not very straight landing I have never been on a prop plane before (well, a more than 2 seater one) and found the ATR72 a much quieter experience.

Just 14 people going and about 12 coming back.
