Personally I think cows are much more harmful to the environment.It`s actually shocking how much methane they produce.

Yep, I agree. And the spreading of slurry onto fields is a problem too! At least they didn't suggest they were "Chemtrails".

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

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

Cheers smudge, was taking advantage of the blue skies while it lasted!
