Did anybody catch the AN-225 flying over today? My father claimed he saw it fly over Belfast earlier today around 2.00pm although maybe he is mistaken?

I saw something large around that time,but Sun position meant it was impossible to get a shot of it.
 
I thought it might have been the AN-124 again,but from my view point detail was almost impossible to see. :-\

Some I took today:noticed many aircraft weren`t making contrails which made them hard to see.

2:DHL B767-300 ?
3:Lufthansa A330 ?
4:UPS B767-300 ?

A few more from the weekend-need some help ID`ing the airline :-[  I just go and see what appears and don`t use radar sites.
 
1:B747-400 Looks like Thomson or TUI (don`t think they operate B747`s though)
2/3:A330 Qatar possibly.
