Aer Lingus BAC1-11s. What routes did they perform ?

[pax britanica]

Like an earlier poster I remember seeing them as far back as the green stripy EI livery as one of the Sunday 'oddities' that LHR seemed to have back then.

I too thought they went to Cork or Shannon.

I remember turning up at Dublin to find a BA 1-11 500 once which was bit of a surprise but much later on found myself on EI 767 so it was route which had bit of variety from time to time .

As a young boy I remember seeing them at Glasgow, Renfrew airport before the new Abbotsinch airport opened in 1966.

Looks more like Cork to me.

It's defnitely Shannon, the "I think" was about the year, sorry, it was a bit misleading the way I wrote it.

Served GLA often on the EI222/3 or/and EI 224/5.

Sometimes the DUB-GLA and DUB-EDI flights would be amalgamated (presumably light loads) and then you could have the fun of GLA-EDI nice and low and very quick!
Mel, Malachy, Declan and Ronan - much loved.

From the Aer Lingus Amchlar an tSamraidh 1989 (Summer timetable) - the deployment of the 1-11s looks very patchy and the timetable can't be totally accurate as there is a daily Cork-Heathrow flight on a 1-11 but no return; a daily Heathrow-Dublin 1-11 but no means of moving the aircraft between Dublin and Cork.

EI712 ORK 1325 - 1440 LHR daily
EI846 DUB 1240 - 1625 AMS -----6- 03Jun30Sep
EI642 DUB 0745 - 0840 BHX 12345--

EI698 DUB 1615 - 1855 DUS 12345-7

EI097 DUB 2200 - 2235 SNN 12345-7

Cork-Manchester back in those days was twice weekly on a Shorts 360. Cork-Birmingham had twice-weekly Sat/Sun services but one was a Fokker 50!

The EI680 was the DUB/MAN/HAM
returning later in the day as
The EI681 HAM/MAN/DUB

The 1-11 certainly seemed much noiser departing R15 from the Scotland Lane estate!

That would be correct as I only observed that service once while driving by with my parents, and it was on a Sunday afternoon taking off in southerly direction.
