Photo Comment

Ireland Airways was founded in 1991, and ceased operations 12 Feb 1998. This aircraft operated for them since Jul 1995, moving on to Westair Cargo, also from Ireland, after the airline's demise in Feb 1998. But it soon ended up in storage here at Dinard, and judging from the fact that it still has its Ireland Airways titles in this 1999 photo it may never actually have operated for Westair. Its final fate is unclear, but it was almost certainly scrapped here in 2001 or 2002.
