Carries Spanish tourism "Costa Brava, Pirineu de Girona, Catalunya". On the nose is a cartoon rugby footballer, wearing a jersey marked "Leinster", apparently being bowled over by the aircraft with the slogan "Up Munster" beneath the cockpit. This refers to rivalry between rugby union teams from different areas of Ireland. In the major European competition, the Heineken Cup, in 2006 Munster beat Leinster in a semi-final and went on to win the trophy. The Leinster player is losing his grip on the ball, which is falling out of a shopping bag from an upmarket Dublin (Leinster) department store.
