Here is the link again, the trail is visible at around 04 seconds after the start.
Yes, I agree. I loaded the vid into one of my video editors and looked at it frame by frame. It doesn't look like a light aberration to me. However the res isn't as good as one would like. It looks like a condensation trail. An experienced Hunter pilot on this thread said it's unlikely - obviously he has detailed knowledge of the airframe and engine. If a con-trail, what is condensing? Unburnt fuel? Water? Smoke (i.e. a mix of combustion products)?
