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.

From the roof terrace Shannon, 1980 I think |
It's defnitely Shannon, the "I think" was about the year, sorry, it was a bit misleading the way I wrote it.

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!

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.

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

If I remember rightly in the late 70's/early 80's, Aer Lingus usually scheduled a 1-11 on their Sunday LBA-Dublin slot, with the 737-200 operating the same several times mid-week.
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. Cheers Mr Mac |
