Some blue sky visable just now,but nothing going OTT.Alitalia A330 EI-EJJ went over approx 10-15 mins ago,but clouded in up here at BFS.

Just had a try at N605HC Canadair Challenger track 293 at 38,000ft,and Air France F-GSPL Boeing B777-228 ER track 298 at 36,000ft-pics later if any of use.

Very tricky to get anything today-FR24 seems to have a 3 or 4 min delay,and loads of thick blankets of cloud keep appearing up here if anything interesting is due to go OTT.
I noticed a Bahrain Royal Flight B747SP over Cumbria now tracking NW-that would be nice to see in BFS

Lovely Belgian AT!

Were you down to the south a bit today?

No,usual spot in my garden-the Brussels A330 went almost directly overhead,just managed to catch it between thick masses of cloud.

Very impressive Smudge,espcially the A380.

Good shot,not something you get to see often.

Angry Turnip · « **Reply #307 on:** October 31, 2013, 05:53:08 PM »

I wonder how long before Alitalia finally go under-they seem to have nine lives.

Very frustrating today;every time something of interest was due to overfly,it clouded over or rained or both.

I should have got out of my pit earlier.

Here is a half hearted attempt on a BA 787 G-ZBJA operating BAW 98 from YYZ @ fl410 this morning over Dungannon heading to LHR!!!!

I think that may have been my possible 4th attempt to catch one,mind you would much prefer a close encounter!!!!!!

Angry Turnip · « **Reply #313 on:** November 04, 2013, 10:33:08 PM »

The was a BA 787 G-ZBJC OTT tonight at around 1645-too far north for me to see it;I reckon it went OTT Ballymena area. $:-\$

Nibog · « **Reply #314 on:** November 04, 2013, 10:50:52 PM »

I also missed a great photo op last week on my way to work,Emirates 380 on my left,with the Queen of the skies,Lufthansa 747 on my right,both tracking towards IOM!!!!,oh and of course no camera!!!!

Angry Turnip · « **Reply #315 on:** November 04, 2013, 11:09:07 PM »

A few from today,most were too far away to get any sort of decent shot,and still wispy murk about.

I also saw your UA machine Smudge N642UA ?

That's the one; just found an entry on airliners.net that N642UA will be the last UAL 767 to receive the new livery, in March next year.

Utter dearth of anything OTT today, they're all heading up through Scotland for the northerly entry points.

This rather bland Turkish B77W was a rare eastbound traveler, caught in a hole through the clouds. A belly logo would have brightened the livery nicely.

Another oddity was this southbound B738 I-NEOW of Italy's Neos. FL350 and no holes in the cloud for this guy, just had to shoot him through the overcast when the Sun hit the correct angle

A hacked-around former TUI livery, callsign MOONFLOWER! Cool.

Angry Turnip · « **Reply #318 on:** November 05, 2013, 11:31:58 PM »

Some recent ones-sadly a bit too far out to get much detail.

VT-JWS x 2 N370AA and N668UA

Score! Lovely sequence

smudge · « **Reply #321 on:** November 07, 2013, 05:04:59 PM »

Distant, oblique, grainy, dusky photo... but what a rare bird.

Sky Airlines of Turkey's B734 TC-SKM northbound out of Shannon after Sunset.

Not sure what the callsign is about: N288KG. N2 is Dagestan Airlines' IATA identifier.

ISO1250 and 1/125th to dig this guy out of the gloom.

Edit at 19:15: still trucking, currently over Romania heading SE towards Turkey. FL280 all the way, short-winged second-gen 737.

http://planefinder.net/flight/N288KG

Edit at 20:15: commenced descent over Becau in Romania at 19:25 but lost track of him after that. Other a/c on the same track landed at Istanbul.

That came out very well considering how dark it must have been,nice and sharp as well.

smudge · « **Reply #323 on:** November 07, 2013, 10:10:40 PM »

Cheers guys!

I was initially gutted because I missed a Moon Shot; as he approached from the South he carved right through the disk of the dusk Moon but I had to take a work call

But when I realised it was quite a rare bird I was happy again!

Angry Turnip · « **Reply #324 on:** November 07, 2013, 11:17:19 PM »

More recent ones, pretty standard fare,but 1st time I`ve got a AA in the new "Lego" livery-pity it was so far out.

G-BNLN BA B747-436
N721AN AA B777-323ER

N13113 UNITED B757-224
