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.

Cheers Dave...wasn't quite sure what I was looking at! :drinks:

Brilliant catch. When was this taken.

About 20 mins ago. Just happened to look up and thought it was unusual looking, and managed to rattle off about 20 shots. Checked it on the radar, and details came up as stated. Was flying towards the IOM/England from our direction, 39,000ft.

Nice catch.  8)  I think they fly into Prestwick quite often on refueling stops.

Observed this flying overhead, around 9:30am, whilst spotting @ BHD this morning.

Looks like a C-17 to me  :)

Very nice shot. Was it flying East or west? Could it be a Canadian C-17 heading to the Mediterranean?

Nice shot of the C-17 Merlin;see them fairly often over BFS,tend to be later in the evening though and with the sun sinking in the west it`s not always possible to get a good pic of them.

I use a Canon 100-400mm, and unless the aircraft is directly overhead, a hefty edit/crop with Photoshop (or similar) is required.

I also use a Canon 100-400mm, recently I have been trying to use a skywatcher 200p telescope with a 2x barlow lens = 2000mm ;D  Not as easy to track/focus as a lens but good fun :D
