This 737, in its first spell with Aer Lingus, was on a six-month summer lease from Guinness Peat. It had a hybrid livery, retaining the cheatline of its previous operator Eastern Provincial Airways. Unusually for a lease, it had been named by Aer Lingus, visible below the cockpit.

This 737, in its first spell with Aer Lingus, was on a six-month summer lease from Guinness Peat. It had a hybrid livery, retaining the cheatline of its previous operator Eastern Provincial Airways. Unusually for a lease, it had been named by Aer Lingus, visible below the cockpit.

" on lease to British Airways " titles. BA later became a major user of 737s with purchases of -200s, -400s and -300s from Boeing, followed by second-hand -300s and -500s. However, BA's first use of 737s was the lease of a pair of Transavia aircraft in 1978, two years before the first of their own fleet arrived.
