Here is the problem I have with the contrail theory.The spiral thickness (the individual line not the whole shape ) must be at least 10 miles wide just look at the scale of it compared with the land mass below.I don't think a normal contrail would even show up on an image of this scale.
It would be like trying to see an individual road from space.
Also the whole country would be criss-crossed with trails.

If you take a closer look, you can see that Right inside, above and below the Spiral and during the same time, there are many real "linear" contrails.
This spiral is really huge in wide, diameter and lenght.
The aircraft circling contrail explanation not convince at all.
That part of the east coast is also used a lot by tankers out of mildenhall or, quite possibly (and something I often see when visiting family in Norfolk), AWACS out of RAF Waddington. The AWACS are usually seen flying very broad circular patterns at high altitude.
exactly like a AWACS does... like here www.sat.dundee.ac.uk...

Who said that this spiral was made by AWACS?

AWACS, or tanker, or radar calibration flight... and it is the pattern a AWACS flys

Sorry, but you really, YOU HAVE NO IDEA of what you are talking about!
Looping is executed pulling up the airplane so that it executes a complete turn in the shape of ring (loop). A looping perfect it would have to design perfect a circular trajectory that is shut exactly in the same point (for quota, position and direction of the aircraft) in which it has been begun.
