Exciting stuff, all on the day I got a second class first in university for aerospace engineering

Congrats Dave, very impressive, obviously you have your head screwed on your shoulders.
We'll be watching you carefully for future perks

I haven't been taking many pics lately, as I'm in the middle of getting an attic conversion,
my new HQ

While in Dublin airport yesterday, I took a few shots of aircraft passing over Bagso heading west.
As there is a good distance involved I will post a few later as a quizz, no prices

Have a go at guessing the Airlines :

PS - just had a look at the preview, I didn't realise I cropped them so tight,
so they might be easy to some

First one is Olympic Airlines

Thanks Squad

How's the attic conversion going? Are you doing it yourself or have you got contractors in building it?

As for the photos;

1) Olypmic A340-300

2) Looks like an A330-300 meaning it would be Air Berlin (LTU)

3) Mexicana 767 and a good catch too!

Well done Dave, go straight to the top of the class

But sorry I have to give you 99.4% as you didn't give anyone else a chance

I will make them harder next time, maybe just the contrail

The attic is taking shape with a lovely Velux 3 in one window, to give panoramic views,
so I won't be caught out by USAF

It is of course being done by professionals, as I'm scared to get on the roof

Dave · « **Reply #80 on:** June 25, 2009, 06:06:28 PM »

Too easy squad

I ask about the attic conversion because I myself completed one. We had professionals install the Velux window and attic stairs/ladder, however I did the rest of the work. I added a nice wooden tongue and groove ceiling and plasterboard walls. I had great fun building it but theres still one or two things that need fixing such as the addition of a window sill and proper doors added to get to the small storage areas

Rubbish, I was gonig to see wo could identify these aircraft but I forgot about the file names which give the answers away

Very surprising to see an Etihad 777-300ER flying overhead!

In between landings at MAN on the second day, there were shed loads of contrails with a tonne of interesting aircraft. Also saw this interesting bird not quite at high altitude

Contrails are good fun to shoot and sometimes you get unexpected results-took this late May as the Sun went down-I rather like the result.

Nice shots guys, I could never get bored of contrail shots as they never cease to amaze me

Angry Turnip · « **Reply #90 on:** July 11, 2009, 10:33:04 PM »

Another one taken early May this year.

An unusual contrail.
and a close up picture.

casper · « **Reply #92 on:** July 15, 2009, 10:33:02 AM »

Very unusual indeed. Don't think I've ever seen one like that.

String · « **Reply #93 on:** July 15, 2009, 10:40:45 AM »

I think it maybe water vapour from the clouds that were building up then causing the extra contrails.

casper · « **Reply #94 on:** August 03, 2009, 07:44:03 PM »

Caught this 747 yesterday - any ideas of the operator?

Looks like a Singapore Airlines! Nice catch.

UPS MD-11 recently

String · « **Reply #97 on:** August 05, 2009, 08:54:38 AM »

managed to get this yesterday but no contrail as i think it was climbing.
i think it is a BA aircraft.
The pic's are heavily cropped as it was miles away if the sun wasn't out i wouldn't have seen it.

Angry Turnip · « **Reply #98 on:** August 05, 2009, 01:32:52 PM »

Looks like a BA B767 to me

Gorgeous shot!

i think it is a BA aircraft.

As suggested above, either a 767, or more likely to be a 777.
