Next up is that Cargolux mentioned earlier in the thread, alas it passed too far north for me to get a decent shot. Pity as it looked impressive with a huge trail.
Here it is though passing overhead the St Annes / Flyde area about 23 miles from my garden spotting location, not good enough quality for flickr, so uploaded to google instead.

Next, That "cheeky" (not on FR24) USAF Globemaster 3 07-7187 came along calling "REACH 377", huge trail powering across the autumn sky.

The KLM was at close quarters with another A330 from Turkish, this one slightly lower at FL320 same heading, same airway just 2 miles behind.
Had to act lively and sharpish with the scope, but I managed to get em both

Thanks for your comments & encouragement Lads, It is very much appreciated
Glad you enjoy looking


As the sun was getting very low,time to pack up,but wait a mo... here comes another Turkish A333 "onboard chef special".
This time the Washington flight which as it crossed our zone looked quite spectacular bathed in the golden light of the setting sun.
Quite a difficult shot @2400mm having to step down to only 1/100th sec iso200 and fend off camera shake.The lighting here seems very unusual,and the Turkish livery colour doesnt seem right in this shot somehow.. but overall ..I like it

Finally,A giant of the skies, Emirates A380 A6-EEM heading out to the Fylde Coast earlier this afternoon.Photo taken about 14 miles range from my spot.This a388 looking very impressive, as ever !
The A380 is much loved by spotters worldwide..including me ! ...But , as you probably know..I like A340s better

Firstly,Many Thanks Indeed for the comments and "likes".

Last one then from Sunday 22nd a regular EIN A320, although the livery of Aer Lingus looks great imho.
The shamrock emblem on the vert stab and the radio callsign have been around for ages and are unquestionably Irish.
On the scope/photo front, Smaller aircraft such as the A319/320 are so much more difficult to get right.
Im pleased with this frame so here she is
