Thanks
There is something very ethereal about those cont-trailing airliners;
The other day I saw an A380 going N.W bound going; I suppose from BKY along one of those UL routes - A crystal clear morning - MK Eyeball job - I suspect it was an AF - it reminds me of my childhood in Brum - because of their altitude and my location - about a mile and a half west of the old Golf X-ray NDB, you cold see Vulcan's coming across Wales from about 100 miles away descending towards the LIC (at a guess) across what would have been the "Ambers" -
I used a 50 x "toy " telescope to distinguish between the Mk I's and the more crescent shaped wings of the MK II's - I do not remember any Victors though. - On a clear day you could see the trails of aircraft traveling along A25 in the low horizon at about sunset.
I would have been about 7-8 at the time - There is always the imperative to look skyward at that cont-trailing spec in the blue either.
Keep those pics coming.
