Presenting the A320neo depicted as "The Spirit of Dublin", a promotional livery based on the Airbus House Colours which came to Ireland in March 1988. I was not able to find a concrete reason for why this existed, but it would appear that Ryanair had in the late 80's either bought or leased some A320s before reversing tack and opting for the exclusiveley Boeing 737 fleet we all know so well. It appears it may also have been a part of a broader promotion involving the Eurovision Song Contest which was held in Ireland in April 1988 and which featured some cinematic shots of the plane at points during the broadcast.

At any rate it is a noteworthy oddity which I beleive is worth keeping alive in the sim. For those of you also who are eager to fly Ryanair in MSFS but are getting impatient for a decent 737 to come out, I hope this can be a nice semi-realistic stopgap for you.
