Each month will have a new entry on the very first day of the month (time permitting).

Looking forward to seeing you here,

contrailsUK!

Absolutely gorgeous pics! You're great, man!
All of them are stunning, with Asiana, Martinair, United and A380 being my favourite. The Martinair, however, is somehow incredibly mysterious and I can't help staring at it again and again.

Share your photos with us regularly and please tell your friends to do the same. Funny thing is many of our Polish shots show aircraft originating from or destined to the UK. So, in many cases we may photograph the same airliners with around two-hour difference! Cool

By the way, where exactly in England are you spotting and shooting?

Best regards,
FL350

HI,
Thanks to all for the nice comments, I will post some more when the skies clear up.
I am spotting in Dorset, England and underneath airways UM140 and UN20 (closest), but I can also see airways UR8 and UW501. If I look on the horizon i can also see two very busy airways (UL607 and UL9) which many planes cruise on.

It looks like you guys see A LOT MORE contrails than I do, I very rarely get two planes crossing one another.

Sadly, I dont know anyone else who does contrail spotting in England. I think I am the only one. LOL.
I am hoping to get a new telescope soon, so hopefully I shall get better pictures and may even be able to see the registration Smile

contrailsUK!

Great pics again! I can see you are frequented by United Airlines aircraft. Smile

You've already provided us with UA's old, new and S.A. liveries in your photos.

Speaking of American airliners, we don't get United here (except for special occasions like the US president's arrival in Krakow or Warsaw), but we do have Delta (mostly routing to/from Kiev in Ukraine). Sometimes we can see A340-500s of Emirates and Singapore Airlines cruising to/from New York. I guess you could theoretically see and shoot them, too.

Best regards,

hi FL350,
I do see a lot of United Airlines and most of the aircraft I see are transatlantic flights. I have seen UAE202 routing KJFK-OMDB. here is a photo:
[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
I see Turkish Airlines, Royal Jordanian, Aerosvet, Saudi Arabian, Egypt airlines, Kuwait Airlines and Israel Airlines from America which you guys must see sometimes in Poland!

Hi there,

Its been a while since I last posted on here because the weather has been so bad Crying or Very sad

Yesterday the weather cleared up a bit, and I tried out my new telescope Smile

Here is RYR1972 on UM140 @ 11:05am:

My first attempt with my new scope, fl=1200mm with canon 350D.
I hope you like it, I will try to post some more when I get the chance
Thanks,

Contrails!

Great to hear (and see) from you again!
Well, obviously your scope does pay back as this Ryan looks great.
Hope one of these happy guys flying to Spain will find your pic here or there to include it into his holiday album. Wink

By the way the machine (EI-DLB) is brand new - serving for Ryan for less than a year now.

As for the weather, yes typically English, heh?
Here in Poland, when it's raining or drizzling for days we say "What an English weather!"... Wink

On the contrary, autumn in Poland is usually very sunny (except for November) and we even metaphorically call it "Polish Golden Autumn".

Take more pics with your new Bigeye and bring them here. We're waiting!

Best regards,
FL350

Really nice photo ContrailsUK, so many details, even all the windows...

contrailsUK

Thanks guys.
I this ryanair flight flies over everyday, so I hope one day I will se their dreamliner or cable and wireless livery Wink

I have chosen the Celestron StarHopper 6" telescope. It is quite big, the tube is 4ft long!!! I have only tested it on a B737, just think what itll be able to do with a 747 or A340 Very Happy

I have looked at the weather forecast and it says clear skies for next week! In england we get many rainy days in Autumn but when their is a gap in the weather we can sometimes get long periods of sunshine, and the contrail conditions are just right along with the low angled sun!
I dont know if youve ever heard of [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] but I use it a lot because it tells you the route in which the plane is flying, and when it should fly over you. O
On thursday, I saw SIA21, routing KEWR-WSSS It passed over my house on UN20 and it should have passed over Poland on airway UL984.

Did anyone else see it?

Thanks,

Hi !

Yes it could be true about Singapore on UL984 Very Happy

. Our friend "Skuter" has seen that plane on UL984 13.10.2006. There is photo: http://www.rnavspotters.fora.pl/viewtopic.php?t=167&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=150 (on bottom that page). So it is possible to flew on UL984 on 26.10.2006, but unfortunately nobody saw Crying or Very sad

Nice Ryan ! Wink

Hi all,
This morning, clear skies for about ten minutes Sad

I saw one plane which was CFG051 heading home to Frankfurt:

And one I found in my album from last summer... this is about as busy as it gets in my skies:

I have never seen more than four in one go, how about you guys? I have seen some photos on your October 2006 topic and the skies are very busy... Smile

PawelB

Hi

Wow great Condor ! We can read airline name Smile

About "busy airway" I've seen only once similar situation on UL980.

Greets

contrailsUK

Nice busy skies... I wish I could live under an airway as busy as that. The busiest airway I have is UR8, here is one from this afternoon, NWA37 going back home...
