I took this just before it got really cloudy. It was passing by another contrail.

Nice ones. Like the fact that you can catch the tail artwork, something I've never been able to.

What are the chances that Emirates Airline would have flown over this morning? I saw something similiar to this this morning around 9:30am

but if I remember correctly the red seemed to run nearly the full length of the fuselage and not just the middle of it. Are there any other airlines with a similiar livery?

Air India comes to mind, their 777's fly over every few hours.

Certainly looks like it. Couldn't make out the red nacelles but the red underbelly seems about right. Definitely going to have to start bringing my camera out and about with me

You saw Air India's B777 VT-ALQ

Thanks for the comfirmation. Really do regret not having my camera with me

Noticed this Ryanair flight to the north of Aldergrove Sat morning,from Eglington possibly?

Also AA B.767 again later in the day.

Got this Thomson B.767 yesterday-not too much in the way of contrails visable yesterday due to mixed weather conditions.

Some great catches guys, impressive stuff. I never seem to be able to catch any!

Angry Turnip · « **Reply #63 on:** March 28, 2010, 11:28:52 PM »

Dave:if you are down at BHD in the morning until mid afternoon you can usually see plenty of high-flyers going over.

Gives you something to photograph whilst waiting for the Flybe/Ryan/BMI stuff.

First 747 is a Lufthansa 747, identifiable by the grey belly,
The second 747 looks like Air New Zealand,
The third is BA obviously,
The final 747 is Singapore Airlines, presumably their Cargo 747F.

Nice shots guys, some blue sky here also

Angry Turnip · « **Reply #69 on:** April 04, 2010, 07:31:41 PM »

Don`t know what airline this one is,has a blue tail but cant see any reg on wing,so it could be one of many operators.

Hi Angry, great shots, i think the ones you have labeled korea are Austrian Airlines, and the unknown may be another Continental, but i couldn't be sure about it

Haha, ok here goes;

contiB767.jpg; This is a 757-200,

korea767.jpg; As EZY mentioned, it's an Austrian Airlines 767,

luftB747.jpg; Lufthansa A340-300

koreaB767.jpg; Austrian 777-200

unknownA330.jpg; Continental 767-400ER (only Delta and Continental have 767-400's, identifiable by the raked wingtips)

I hope that helps

Dave

Thanks guys:

The Austrian ones threw me a bit because I thought of Austrian Airlines,but I thought I could see the swirl emblem on the tail that Korean Airlines use.( I was shooting into the Sun so detail was tricky).
Also I thought Austrian Airlines had stopped using the sky blue colour and most of their aircraft were white/thin red line with the sky blue underbelly.

The unknown A330 I thought might be a 767,but the winglets confused me again!

EZYgoing · « **Reply #73 on:** April 04, 2010, 10:25:14 PM »

Hi guys, Just looking at caspers shots from this morning and was wondering if the mini contrail coming from the tail of the Singapore Airlines was caused by the APU exhaust or is it related to the aerodynamics of the tail?

Angry Turnip · « **Reply #74 on:** April 05, 2010, 12:28:40 AM »

That is most likely from the APU.
