@corkairport_: Sometimes we get asked, "what's the largest aircraft that has landed at Cork Airport"? Well this was one of them! #Throwback to the landing of an @Aer Lingus Boeing 747 in July 1989 for the official opening of the 1,000 feet extension of our main runway. #ThrowbackThursday #LoveTakingOff #CorkAirport #Cork

That livery on an old 747 is just perfect to be frank, and I say that as a Brit. From one of the best to one of the most boring in Europe, a real shame.
