Flying the Tricolour

Madam, – I flew from Dublin to Gatwick before Christmas, a rare event. I do not like flying

Madam, – I flew from Dublin to Gatwick before Christmas, a rare event. I do not like flying. As a consequence, I may be more conscious of what is happening around me.

As the aircraft taxied out for take-off, we passed a number of Ryanair aircraft and I noticed that the Tricolour painted on the fuselage was correct on one side of the Ryanair aircraft but back-to-front on the other, port and starboard. There may be some good reason why Ryanair has it arseways on one side of its fleet.

Am I the only one who cares? – Yours, etc,
