ISLAND CONNECTION // Flybe DHC-8 at Dublin Airport

I have already released quite some videos from the same session at Dublin airport (DUB/EIDW) as this on my channel and they all have one thing in common: the aircraft featured in them are jet-powered. That's probably not really surprising, since most people consider jets more impressive than propeller driven aircraft. And while 'impressive' is not the decisive category here as well, this is one of the videos I totally wanted to publish!
Above all, that's because of the plane's livery. I mean, most airlines use blue or red as their main color, a few use green, but when was the last time you saw an aircraft in purple?

The plane itself is a De Havilland Canada DHC-8, in the industry widely knwon as the Dash 8. Being a successful, twin-engined regional airliner, it's by no means special, but it's a prime example of what a difference an unusual livery can make.

The Dash 8 featured in the video is registered as G-PRPA. It was delivered to Colgan Air (9L/CJC) in January 2008 and was in service with them, as N187WQ, until it was stored in 2012. Three years later it was transferred to the United Kingdom and joined the fleet of Flybe (BE/BEE), where it flew until they ceased operations in March 2020. By now (January 2022) they have announced to come back, so there's hope for our plane.
