Contrails!

Many years ago a grizzled old captain (Ex R.A.F C130) explained to me how he could calculate,at preflight, at what Flight Levels the aircraft would be contrailing by using various met charts. This was important on certain missions to avoid visual detection from the ground.

Being somewhat old and grizzled myself now I have completely forgotten how this was done. Can anyone help me out?

Cheers
