I don't think that's a "300" series BAW B777, as it looks just a bit too stumpy and lacks the raked wing-tips of the 300ER! Amazing shots all the same!

Please tell me someone got a photo of the DHL 767 and Virgin A340 flying side by side. Absolutely gorgeous light - red contrails. Was around 6:45

Ha, what a coincidence, myself and my family were all standing in the kitchen waiting for the dinner to cook when topic of conversation turned to plane finder. I turned it on and noticed those two aircraft flying over Donegal and heading towards us. 5 minutes later they flew over however it was too cloudy to get any proper picture as they flew over :( i did nab a picture before they crossed Lough Neagh, about 50 miles away. Will edit and post later, currently lazing on the sofa :D

The best I could come up with. First time I've shot a contrail at home for a good few months now.

Very Nice Dave;at round 5.45 I noticed two aircraft with contrails heading west and thought it would make a good photo,but was too late to get the camera ready.
I haven`t taken many high flyers recently either,largely due to the crappy weather.

Hi Saw these last night also as I was enroute to Shaws Bridge to play bowls, sadly no camera. They broke out into clear sky and looked fantastic I noted the time as 6.50pm. That's a good capture Dave.

Dave, I believe the registrations are G-VOGE and G-DHLF.  I put the time on plane finder to 18:45 and got the following.

Double thanks guys! I figured out G-VOGE earlier from flightaware.com whilst I wasn't too sure about G-DHLF so that was a big help. Cheers!
