Nice shots, it seems I'm the only one not to have seen a Qatar A340 of any kind! The first Air Canada aircraft is an A330-300 (with wignlets) :)

The first two look like Lufthansa, and the third is the Air Canada for sure.

Took the kids to the local park and just happened to have my camera with me. This looks like a C-17

It was a very busy day today. Even my dad commented on the fact that he watched 16 through binoculars today.

I noticed a lot. I only grabbed my camera for this one.

I believe it is a Delta A330.

Not the best shot very heavily cropped.

Loads of high flyers at times today-here are some I took at between 1200 and 1600 approx.
 
My attempt to identify them is in the file name-maybe Dave can correct me if I am wrong-I have trouble with B767 and B777`s at high altitude.

Could be a Gulfstream G500.

Did anyone happen to catch the two 3-engine planes at around 2:15 today?

Lurgan today was racetrack central. At one stage I could see 7 contrails, 2 harriers and a police helicopter - and no camera in sight :(
