Hello folks, I posted this in Escorts & stewards earlier but suspect it might get missed there, so hope you don't mind if I repost it again here.
We were down in Norfolk again for the now annual late summer break last month and had clear skies for almost the full two weeks. Ended up casually watching a lot of commercial flights passing over while relaxing, that corner of the country being a surprisingly busy spot with folks passing over to and from North America heading to the continent etc. Anyway found it easy to spot a daily Emirates A380 passing over around 14:30 ish most days heading east, which was fine to look out for, and also a few Emirates 777 flights as well. I like the Emirates flights, its easy to spot them with the logo clear and big under the fuselage
Took a sequence of shots of one Emirates flight that passed over us directly one afternoon that had a very unusual contrail, have a look at this
Cheers folks

Coriander powder from the galley extractor fans, I reckon, Gordon.

Re: Big Blue Skies and contrails...
Some great replies there
I'd have looked it up RobDob if the mobile reception at Stifkey where we got the photo (and most of North Norfolk come to think of it) was better that flaky GPRS only, no 3G in many places (& you can forget lovely 4G too), so the web trickles down to the phones there like a leaky tap
