Full Closeup Super Fine HD footage of Aer Lingus Airbus A320-214 (Registration : EI-DVL ; Serial No. : 4678) lining up and taking off from a damp runway 35 at Cork Airport, Ireland.(Airport Code : ORK)
The destination of this flight was London Heathrow Airport, England (Airport Code : LHR) and it was operating flight number EI722 (Callsign : “Shamrock Seven Two TWo”)
This is one of the newest A320s operated by Aer Lingus and is only five months old having been delivered to them on 27/04/2011. It is powered by two CFMI CFM56-5B4/P engines.
Like all Aer Lingus aircraft it is named after an Irish Saint. This aircraft is called “Saint Molling”
The flight departed at 4:52pm local time. The wind was blowing across the runway at about 25 knots at the time. I’ve edited out about two minutes of footage where the aircraft was fully lined up but had to wait for one of the rescue jeeps to first some flares to disperse a flock of birds from the runway to eliminate any danger of a birdstrike on takeoff.
This footage was filmed at Lios Cross (near Cork Airport) with a Samsung HMX H200 HD camcorder. If you enjoyed this video please subscribe to my channel. Thank you. http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=radar050976

Awesome! Thanks for uploading such great videos!
@Muslim2888 Unfortunately not, the engines on this A320 are CFM56-5B turbofans not the RR IAE V2500's. Pause the video on 1:13 seconds and you can see the turbofans are an open cone exhaust which means its a CFM. IAE's are slimmer engine nacelles with a covered exhaust cone.
@Muslim2888 I'm 100% sure. This bird definately carries a pair of CFM56 engines and not the V2500's. As I said before V2500's are more slimline, longer and covered around the cone. CFM's are short fat engines with an exposed cone. If you can't tell by looking the sound difference is almost a dead giveaway. CFM's make a much higher pitched turbine scream with a louder thrust thunder whereas IAE's have a lower scream but sound more like a cutting saw infront of the engines.
Bringing up landing gear makes quite the racket in the passenger area.
Yes you're right.
God bless aer lingus
COOL
Super fine HD indeed 😀
Aer Lingus planes look the best of them all.
I agree, although being Irish I may be a little biased 😉
Beautiful footage.
Pity they have adopted the rather boring blue-and-grey interior that so many airlines have – I loved the seat fabric that had quotes from Irish writers on it, it was really individual. On the outside, the planes do look fabulous – lovely vibrant green.
very good – i like the way the plane seemed to wait until you had a good scan all over it! Seemed like a blustery day and did I detect the pilot straightening to nose just before lift off.
Thanks Michael. Glad you enjoyed it.
Love this video and really like the fun you can have with the St Molig name on the front of the plane and EI-DVL as the registration. Add just E and I and you could guess that Molig was a devil? Ah, must give up doing crosswords!
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it.
Ah, segue to a question I've been meaning to ask for a long time – how does the pilot steer the nose wheel?
Quite a famous plane now.
