Sorry to correct you, but the 100th new 737-800 for Ryanair was EI-DLH.

The real reason for the colour scheme of EI-DCL is the following. It was the 800th Boeing 737-800 to be built. And luckily Ryanair got it.

The view from seat 33F :

Yesterday, I had my first flight on the "special livery" EI-DCL, on a CRL-ROM/CIA :

At Charleroi, boarding for the 0630 departure :







At Ciampino :



Unfortunately, EI-DCL has no more its original nose, but an all-white one :

even one of the winglets on the "dreamliner" 737 EI-DCL is painted in the standard Ryanair livery, I'm sorry to say but this bird is'nt looking as nice as it did a couple of years ago

EI-DYN at Cork (Ireland), arriving from Dublin, on January 27th, 2010.

Dear atoutprix we were in ciampino at the same time (ok i was a little bit earlier but i waited a lot there)!!!
I saw the "dreamliner" in stansted the 15th of october whilst going to hahn but i've never travelled on it.

Charleroi, 30/4/2010 :

I found a picture of DCL from July 2008 - it had the white nose cone then as well. Did it have a blue one before that at some point?

Yes, it had a blue nose cone at first :

Oh yes, so it did! Thanks for that. I saw it in STN a couple of times this week. I'll ask and see if they're going to give it a proper paint job at some point - doubt it though...

The DCL still has "bandage" over its nose. Saw it in PMI last monday and was surprised the company didn't change the paintings since unless June'09 - the time I saw DCL with white nose for the first time. In March'09 I flown this plane on my WRO-NYO route and as far as I remember the nose was ok.

It definitely had the white nose the first time I was on it in July 2008... I'll try and remember to ask the engineers if the blue nose is coming back next time I'm in work...

A grey morning at Bergamo (BGY)- 12/5/2010.

The wheels seem so small to carry all that weight :

I like the last photo of CRL will be there in june also staying the night in a hotel called Balladins Superior Hotel very reasonably priced and only minutes from the airport...

Brussels South Charleroi (CRL), by a wet and grey morning, as seen after take off from 07 (not frequent, usually it's 25) :

Yes everytime I have landed and taken off from CRL was on ILS R25 No ILS on 7 so VFR practice there probably why they closed the airport a few days ago the ILS runway was not available due to wind direction and fog.

Yes, it was on last wednesday : take off in the morning was from 07.
Later, CRL was closed during the day, because of fog; but the wind changed direction, and landing in the evening was on runway 25.

Very good and most interesting pictures !

There seems to be a marked declivity of the runway at LBA ?

Sure is, landing on 32 for the pilots is harder than 14 as its right at the top of the hill

Yes i 've watched them take-off and land on R14 a great view from near the cemetry lol upon a hill and also a few sheep to talk .. nice pics.
