Very nice effect guys-I was going to attempt a few contrail shots today,but the wind was much too strong,plus when something was due OTT the clouds seemed to know and smother it. :(

Post by: Angry Turnip on February 02, 2014, 02:15:28 PM
Drat! I was contemplating taking a few contrail pics today if anything interesting came OTT BFS Area,and as I looked out saw a Qatar B777 Cargo flight go over and I missed getting a pic.

Lot of high whispy cloud now,but I note on FR24 Air France A380 F-HPJH is headed our way possibly (looks like its going up the North Channel now :( ).

His football team, Fulham, were playing Manchester United after I snapped this at 16:23.  Perhaps it had dropped him off for the match?

He sold Fulham to an American last year Smudge....

Didn`t get to see much today with all the cloud about,but caught these two freighters.

Air France Cargo B747-428F ER F-GIUA at 32,000ft, and DHL Air G-DHLF Boeing B767-3JHF at 33,000ft.

Both were really a bit too far away for a decent shot,but I had a go anyway.

Lovely clear skies up here at BFS most of afternoon-ideal for contrail spotting-but so far I have seen diddly squat going OTT,plus as a bonus the moon is in a good position for a shot,if anything were flying over. ::)  Sod`s Law again.

A little unusual to catch a Turkish eastbound. 

TC-JJG op. THY10 from Los Angeles at lunch time this morning, to the south over the Peninsula so back-lit for a jazzy contrail effect.

(http://occurs.lineum.org.uk/public/overflights/2014/04/.THY10_B77W_4BA947_TC-JJG_6S1E2677_2014-04-08_m.jpg) (http://occurs.lineum.org.uk/public/overflights/2014/04/THY10_B77W_4BA947_TC-JJG_6S1E2677_2014-04-08.JPEG)

I was waiting for that to OTT here,but cloud sneaked in and blocked my view.

15004 Canadian Air Force Airbus CC-150T Polaris (A310-304 MRTT) at 34,000ft-sun was directly overhead which made this very tough to see.

It seems to have a white or pale grey belly,but the low viz paint works very well. :-\

If my memory serves me right, the first aircraft was Lufthansa and the second Kalita Air?? Correct me if I'm wrong! Took them from the Maze site yesterday morning around 10:30/11. Just had the FR24 app on my phone, so couldn't get much info. First post of contrails as well!!

Good trail there breney.  They seem to be hogging certain routes at the moment which is leading to trailing and clustering.  To be encouraged!

Passing over Lough Neagh, Ards Pen. seems to be very popular at the moment, there's not as many as there used to be in the mornings down here towards the border, they seem to favour staying northwards

Busy man Steve!  The bizjet looks like an EMB-135 / Legacy, I'll check the logs.

Edit: A6-VAS of Empire Aviation http://empire.aero/aircraft/fleet (http://empire.aero/aircraft/fleet)

The 747 is great - looks like it about to run me over!

Really interesting effect as it passed through some high cirrus cloud in the climb, or as  guy next to pointed out they had started spraying could have throttled him
