Hi,
Last week I was on holiday in the Brecon Beacons in Wales, and so I took the scope. For most of the week I was under a blanket of cloud until Saturday, when we had a blast of cold air coming from the north bringing clear skies. That morning I drove up a hill of 500m (1640ft) and watched as LHR departures started contrailing at FL270 :zdziwko:. Throughout the morning had a problem with conditions as there was a sort of dust/haze which reduced the contrast, but conditions improved for the afternoon.

Try a bit further west next time for much better weather - north Pembrokeshire (Fishguard and Cardigan) - heavy traffic most days!

Nice pic of G-VROM Mike, and a rare opportunity to catch it contrailing at only 25,000ft!
Weather forecast sunny this weekend so hopefully should get some pics
Regards,
James.
