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. :(

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.

Thanks Smudge,yeah DHL tend to be night prowlers,and you normally only see them late on in the summer months.
