Took these Mon evening (I think or poss Sun :-[ ) mixed up due to holidays.
 
Boeing B747  unknown airline-thought might be ANA Cargo,but that`s a guess.

Yes Dave you are correct,thank you :)
-I looked up B747 operators in wikipedia but Air Bridge Cargo wasn`t listed-I think they are part of the Volga group that operate the AN-124 and AN-225
 
Some more recent stuff:
 
BA B767 and one I took as it was a bit too close to the sun. :-[
 
A340 but not sure of operator.

Very nice. Do you not get funny looks when you point your camera at the sky and not at the track :)

I only ever seem to see Emirates aircraft flying overhead  ::)  The A380 was the first contrail photo I've taken where I've been able to read the registration under the wing... turns out it was A6-EDE, the aircraft which had the catering truck fall on the wing.

Those are stunning shot`s Dave-I rarely see Emirates stuff, BA,Air France,Lufthansa and Delta are the most common ones I see.
Some from the past few weekends-most taken early morning,which is RARE for me. ;D

Caught this 747F going overhead recently. Had a Kalitta Air callsign, but didn't realise they had a yellow/white scheme.
