Stunning set of pictures, I like the fact that you caught the Singapore 747 Strobing :) and the easyjet flying past the contrail is timed perfectly.

As for the unknowns i can only help with a few.
The Air Berlin is an Air India, the two unknown A340s are Etihad, and the 767 behind the Easy is another Delta I think.

I thought it might be an Aeroflot myself,but it looks like a B767-300,which confused me.

After further investigation I discovered Aeroflot operate the B767-300,so mystery solved.

4:Swiss A340.

Looks to be a Turkish A340, I don't think Swiss aircraft have a grey fuselage along the bottom. Some nice close ups :) Still mixing up the odd A330 and 777 though  ;D

If you look closley at the A340 I think there are white crosses on the winglets which made me think it was Swiss.
 
Maybe you could give me a few pointers on ID`ing the A330 and 777? They look very similar at altitude. :)

Noticed this tonight at 20.00 XL Airways A330 I think.
 
XL Airways UK went bust last year but,apparently XL Airways France and XL Airways Germany were unaffected.
 
Seemed strange to see the XL brand in the skies again.
 
Also noticed this Boeing B747-400 at around 20.30

I just checked, Swiss have no grey paint on the botton of the fuselages, I presume the white paint on the wingtip is the Turkish logo.

As for identifying aircraft type at altitude, years of studying aircraft wing shapes, etc, as a kid to produce lego models :D

777's have the very swept back wings and and quite wide at the wing root, the A330's have less sept wings, and narrow at the wing root. Also the 777's have 3 fair track fairings pe wing where as the A330's have 4 per wing.

Fantastic, it's a shame the British XL Airways went bust, they had some nice aircraft.

Just a few "high flyers" I noticed recently.

1:Air France B777.
2:not sure of Aircraft/Airline
3:Air France B747-400
