    I was going past Dublin Airport yesterday (Thursday) at about 18:55. As I was going past a flight landed that I did not recognise the logo on the tail of the plane, so was curious as to what it was. However, on looking at flightstats it does not seem to be listed.

    I was jogging towards and past the airport along the Swords Road, so saw a few flights land....the order of the fllights I saw was:
    - Air France
    - Ryanair
    - Etihad
    - <flight I don't recognise>
    - Ryanair

    However, whilst flightstats lists all the others that I saw, it omits the one I don't recognise.

    It seemed to be a passenger plane (i.e. it had windows!). Any ideas?

    (Sorry - title should be Thurs 18th)

    Was it an Airbus? Boeing etc?

    There was a Palistinian 737 in yesterday and a Russian govt IL96

    Can't remember if it was an airbus or boeing - but it looked reasonably similar to the Eithad that landed just before it.

    The livery on the plane looked similar to Singapore Airlines.

    Thanks - I thought of this last night - i.e. that it was probably in for repairs.

    Tail might have looked like that, although I don't think it said Gulf Air on it, as I hopefully would have been able to identify it then! :rolleyes:

    Did it have windows on the side? Did it look like a passenger aircraft? Gulf air cargo?

    Must try to get a pic of this. Spotted it in CDG recently and its quite eye catching.

    Could the OP have seen a Gulf Traveller B767 landing. I know ther have been quite a few of these at the SR hanger over tha last few months. ALong with privately owned gulf aircraft.

    Surveying Plane? Passenger plane with a blue coloured logo on the tail?

    I was going to post here yesterday asking the same question! Saw it take off on saturday afternoon and land within 15 mins again. Rotated very early down 28 so figured it must have been very light. 767? 75% White with navy tail and gold emblem :confused:
