Two more additions to the ever growing number of stored aircraft at Dublin. Kingfisher A320s VT-KFA, & VT-KFD join the line-up.

Great shots, how many Malev 737s are left there now - is it just one ?

[EI-NJK]

There was only one here Mike - HA-LOI. The rest went to Shannon and some of them have flown on to the US to be parted out.

Thanks for that, I was having a "senior moment" !

[EI-NJK]

No bother. A week or two ago Shannon was heaving with the amount of aircraft down there. They nearly had to stack them one on top of the other.
I think the latest count of stored machines is somewhere in the 30s.

Some of the Shannon Malevs have now been re-registered with EI- reggies. Also mishazeltser caught the impounded Malev at Tel Aviv in the latest video posted.

The other week it was a Hungarian invasion of Ireland, now it looks to become an Indian one

[EI-NJK]

Well we're definitely not short of cowboys here, so a few Indians would be welcome.
But seriously it was very sad to listen to the MALEV crews flying into Shannon, knowing it was probably their last flight with the airline. Not nice

Great shots, are ladders needed to get a picture of that Kingfisher?

[EI-NJK]

Thanks Charles, no ladder needed for this shot, only good balance. I was standing on the top of the outer fence about a meter high.
