[The Apprentice]

Airlines fly  internal and international flights with the same aircraft types on many occasions eg  boeing 757 it's usually only the 4 engine ones which are obvious and they use the same company decals for all  . Also when international flights join UK airspace they will join the same air ways the internal ones especially north/south .They will climb and join the same corridors for the cruise height until they descend into the lower TMA of the destination air port .
Best way to use plane finder and radar24 is to look at the plane overhead then see what it is on your computer . I find there are very, very few not shown apart from the occasional C17 etc which you can identify easy enough with binoculars .
Do you have a theory as to how the contrails follow the sun in the sky ?

To be honest it was'nt me but the other half who noticed this, she knows nothing about things really but when I mentioned it to her she simply came out with a genuine observation, but she seems to be right.



Where we live is nigh on mid point in England, top to bottom and side to side, so when we observe from here we are doing so with the sun always in perfect balance to the compass, we are mere yards away from Culloden tower.

Here is something very interesting that I did research on 30 years ago after seeing this for the first time, the tower Culloden is sitting immediately upon an old masonic line, to the South of the tower are two other objects upon that line, one is an old English Larch tree that was painted by Master Mason and landscape artist  William Turner when he was a young man and visiting this area, another is an ancient crown carved upon a natural rock formation in the ancient woodland, and North of the tower is a dwelling, temple Lodge built by one of the illuminati families Called Asaiah Yorke which is also immediately upon the same masonic line and perfectly orientated to the compass.

A minutes walk from this same dwelling is also a recorded solar plaque upon a house wall, this is how exact we are positioned for observation of the sun during its line upon the ecliptic.



In the morning/East the trails are always covering the sun as it rises and follow it right around the ecliptic in perfect symmetry, and this is also taking into acount which ever way the wind is travelling at any given moment, and as sun set the trails are always the thickest/West, I have photographed all day long when we are busy in the allotment, and its always the same, the sun being blocked.

I am in the proceeds of getting a very powerful scope, tripod mounted so I can fiit it to my camera and take really long distant clear pictures, so I will be able to make a propper log of when I see the thickest formations in relation to the sun, etc, etc.

If you use a pair of binoculars which have a grid pattern etched into or positioned on the viewing lenses you can tell by the size of the object seen in relation to its height, so I will fit one of these also, this is how my microscopes work also for sizing, there is a formula somewhere which I will hunt down.

But there is definately a pattern to all of this I'm sure of it.



Here is a shot from last year, taken looking exactly West towards the end of summer near to the Autumnal Equinox, as you can see the trils are at their thickest across the sun, on the East there is pure clear skies so it is a definate pattern, which I will photograph this summer for the record.
I have other pictures where the trail is miles wide, surely this cannot be produced by a single set of engines on a red hot day mid summer.
