This is NOT something you see everyday - a Boeing 767 sailing majestically up the west coast of Ireland on a barge.

You might remember

There was concern that the plane wouldn't get to sea but the lift -off occurred yesterday and so far it's been plane sailing (we're not going to get tired of that pun).

Kevin Daly Video and Eamon Doody of SkyView Photography captured this amazing aerial drone footage of the plane - and it's quite the sight.

And Jack O'Shea caught a different angle just as the sun was going down.

Others have been tracking its progress as it moves up to coast towards Sligo.
