Now then
Apologies if this belongs in JetBlast or some other category but a friend has sent me this intriguing picture he took on Tuesday whilst he was out walking in the Yorkshire Dales, he wondered if I could identify what's going on seeing as I'm interested in all things aeronautical.
Hsi exact words were :"
Walking around Langcliffe there was a jet overhead, it seemed to be tracking a black line, but looking closely the black line was coming from the sky down to the ground. I thought an aircraft part might of come off the jet or something, any ideas? "
There's the main white contrail running down the centre of the picture, then there's the other darker one running diagonal. If you look closely you will see the darker one is under the clouds and drops straight down into the valley and appears to plough straight into the ground! The only thing I could think of is the 'main' contrail is causing a shadow in the air but sounds a bit far fetched! What do you folks reckon?
