Viking invasion for Heineken Cup Final

One could have have been forgiven for thinking that the vikings were re-invading Dublin over the weekend due to the volume of Scandinavian aircraft at the airport. On this occasion however the invasion was that of Leinster rugby fans travelling to Scotland for the Heineken Cup Final with Leicester. Some of the more interesting visitors hired in for the airlift are seen above in the copyright pictures by Ken Meegan. 
At top is McDonnell Douglas MD87 (msn 49403) SE-RBA in the colours of Danish Air Transport.
In the middle is Avro RJ-85 (msn E2233) OY-RCE of Faeroe Islands operator Atlantic Airways.
At bottom is Boeing 737-3Y0 (msn 24464) OY-JTB of Danish operator Jet Time. This aircraft is no stranger to Ireland having spent a considerable time at Shannon Aerospace when it was registered RP-C4010 with Philippine Airlines.
