Some ridiculously good pictures from everyone, some clear skies coming up this week, cameras at the ready. Would be interested to see if anyone can catch one of the new BA 777-300ER's that seems to overfly NI almost daily.

Think I saw one yesterday but wasn't sure, is there any significant difference?

Given the endless parade of contrails over my house today I thought I'd have a go at grabbing some of them.
 
 Sunlight was hitting them from my right which wasn't ideal but anyway.  Pics 1 & 3 are different planes. A line of 3 of three flew over the house in quick succession.
 
 I'll leave it to more knowledgeable people to identify them  :)

Thanks for that-I have seen that 747 before,but it`s usually directly overhead so I can`t see it`s titles-I don`t use any of the virtual rader or flighttracker sites;I just stand about waiting to see what comes over.
 
Maybe I should use them as I do seem to get rather a lot of Lufthansa A340`s. ;)
