MAN 22nd June 2022 - Ryanair B737-800 EI-DCL

 Everyone in this hobby has a certain aircraft that they chase a perfect photo of for such a long time .... for me it was Ryanair's "Boeing" scheme B737-800 EI-DCL.

Having managed plenty of photos of it in the old "Boeing Dreamliner" colours I had only ever managed a dull shot and a decent night photo of the newer colours however this evening saw me finally put this one to bed with some great evening light and a nicely timed arrival!

For nostalgia, here is a shot I took of EI-DCL wearing the old "Dreamliner" scheme almost exactly 15 years ago on the 27th June 2007. Got to be honest, I much prefer the old special!
