Some contrail shots from last Sunday-still haze about and most went slightly south of me,so a bit close to the Sun at times. 8)

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.



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

There was so many contrails over BFS this morning at around 0850ish;I could actually see 3 aircraft contrailing plus around 5 or 6 older contrails.Quite impressive sight.

Was that Virgin 747 around lunch time?  I was sitting out the back eating my grub and one passed over heading directly south, then made a sharp turn to the west.  Most odd!

Yes, was around lunch time..was watching the Ballygowan stage of the Rally when I spotted it.
