    Blimey Rik have the Red Arrows been down your way then? Nice photo btw.

    Re: the clear photo, I don't really know about the physics of it, but maybe it needs a certain kind of atmospheric condition (ie temperature/humidity etc) for the contrails to persist?

    Regards

    I think the EPA made them install some sort device to prevent the formation of contrails.

    Never give up. You will never fail, but you may find a lot of ways that don't work.

    Contrails happen when the temperature of the upper atmosphere is very cold. Warmer temperatures prevent condensation of the jet exhaust.
