this went over today at around 30000ft about 5miles north of my house taken with my samsung compact 6.3-31.5mm lens was an experiment.With binos it was a blue fin with body .my guess is a 737.

Looks like a DC10/MD-11 in the pic, possibly a KLM MD-11?

Mister Cat:::::::::::

Wouldn't an MD-11 have Three contrails?

It would, but it looks like it has a 3rd engine on the tail

by **Hungry Haggis** » Mon Apr 25, 2011 2:16 pm

sorry Olicat no third engine on tail only 2 con trails .I just enlarged my original pic It has a dark blue top half on the boby underside white the fin is also dark blue to the front Rudder area could also be but is reflecting and lookes white.Still looks like a 737 or maybe a 727 .the height would be because it was just after crossing the coast at Newcastle Going west.

Won't be a 727 then as they were tri-engined also.

I agree with Oli, it does look like a DC10, perhaps it had the third engine turned off!

by **Hungry Haggis** » Mon Apr 25, 2011 8:35 pm

After a play on a photo optomiser program I have to agree it does look like a third engine at base of the fin the bulge is there and there is a shaddow affect .Can't get it clear ."Typical shot at very long range with a compact camera".still can't tell what it is .

I spotted a herky

As good as I could get with my phone

by **Olicat** » Thu May 05, 2011 4:32 pm

I saw a Wokka on the way home today and before that i saw another helicopter, which could've been anything from an A109 to a Merlin

by **Gaz** » Mon May 09, 2011 6:28 pm

Merlin, quickly followed by a Puma over here today. Lining up on Bruntingthorpe, as they usually do

Oliphant, they don't use EC145s either, they still have the MD902!
