Lufthansa retro

Lufthansa Airbus A320 reg D-AIDV operating the daily Dublin to Frankfurt service at 12.30 hrs, flight number LH 979, with its special & now unique Lufthansa retro livery.

 

D-AIDV was delivered to Lufthansa 19th Dec 2012 in this specially retro livery based on Lufthansa's first post war livery (1950's ), the colour application of the livery was based on paint ingredients & chemicals used in those 1950's, apart from the grey underbelly.

 

D-AIDV joined similar D-AIRX in retro livery, AIRX was the first to receive the livery back in 2005, flying with cabin crew in historic uniforms.

 

Seen here departing Dublin on runway 16 ( 16/34 ), this runway is rarely used, giving nice close ups of landings & takeoff's, used due to strong winds.
