A while ago on BTS I ran an aviation ID quiz thread that ran for over a year and about 100 pages, give or take a few so I'll take on the quest to ID
the planes in the video;
Aircraft 1 (first 30 seconds) is Boeing 767-300.
2 (about 1:23) is too blurred to identify.
3 (2:05) is a Boeing 757
4 (2:16) is an Airbus A340
5 (2:24) is a Boeing 737-700
6 (2:34) is a Boeing 747-400
7 (3:24) is a Boeing 757
Now, look at how the guy is mystified at why some are leaving trails and some aren't, a clear ignorance of basics the subject is displayed here so
why is he given any credence?
Here are some clues. the 737-700 (no 5) seats about 150 people, The 747-400 (no6) seats over 450. yet look at how on the video the 737 appears bigger
than the 747. This is because it is much lower and therefore not at an altitude (or attitude - from the engines it sounds throttled back as if
landing) to leave contrails.
The guy clearly knows nothing about aviation or air traffic though so how can he be so convinced he is looking at chemtrails? It is a conviction borne
out of ignorance of the subject, rather like the African tribesmen in the 1930s who thought that aeroplanes were manifestations of gods.
.
He also seems guilty of scaremongering, from his accent he is local, but yet seems baffled by the 'white skies'. Has he never heard of clouds, or of
Manchesters propensity to cloudy skies and rain because of the local topography? An unforgivable omission when he is broadasting on you tube to
impressionable foreigners.
After all, did YOU know that this was filmed in close proximity to a very large and busy airport? or that it is a notoriously rainy (therefore cloudy)
part of the UK next to the Pennines? Methinks he is game playng.
This particular piece of evidence is as laughably ridiculous as the OP link.
Why would he be so surprised at the volume of trails? He is in Cheshire, right next door to Manchester Airport, the largest and busiest in the North
of England!
