Pakistan International A330 from today.

I would say that's very unusual.

Have seen the PIA a few times now,but this was the first time I managed to get a decent photo of it.

I think it might operate from Manchester-I must try and find out.

After a quick search I found out PIA operate from the following UK airports Heathrow,Manchester,Glasgow,Birmingham and Leeds/Bradford.

Some great catches all around! Do you ever use plane finder on your mobile, which is pretty much real time?

By the way, the PIA is a 777-200LR, and the Sky Team livery is a 777-300ER, could either be Air France or KLM, we seem to get both airlines over us regularly.

Thanks Dave,you are right they are 777`s.

I forgot to count the wing nacelles and also missed the short top of the tail fin.

I`m pretty sure the the Skyteam 777 is Air France-think it`s just visable near the front door.Nice scheme.

Don`t have a fancy mobile to use planefinders-I just stand about in the cold and wait and see what turns up-that`s dedication or madness for you.

Dave · « **Reply #60 on:** February 15, 2011, 09:57:32 PM »

Yea, you're right, it is indeed an Air France 777, I can just see th Air France writing and little red logo along the fuselage now that you've pointed it out.

The plane finder ap is pretty handy, in the middle of the night when I can't sleep, I'd hear an aircraft fly over, always interesting to turn on the phone and see what it is. it even picks up the Air Atlantique ATP G-MANH that visits most nights around 3am.

Also a friend and mysef tested out just how 'realtime' the plane finder ap is... 15 second delay

Dave is that the plane finder app by pinkfroot? I have it on the iPhone and you're right about it being near real-time.

Sorry this is a little off-topic but found these photos of contrails taken from space - think they were taken from the International Space Station. Thought I'd post the links anyway. [Don't suppose anyone knows what aircraft they're from

Haha nice one Steve, I saw the Swiss Hippy A340 flying overhead as well, i just wasn't quick enough with the camera, I had been wondering if anyone else had caught it! Nice catch.
