Oddly enough, I was wondering if the trails I saw in the sky this morning were Chemtrails. I'm just across the water from Plymouth, where are you OP?

How would contrails hide something?
Wouldn't they have to make trials in the sky over the whole world?

You guys seriously need to get to grips with aviation? For goodness sake join an aircraft enthusiast group or get into aviation radio monitoring. The aircraft that is creating the racetrack contrails is a Voyager tanker aircraft. All you are seeing is the Voyager out on one of the numerous test flights before it is fully up and running with the Royal Air Force.

Call sign is CASA18
Last reported heading back for Hurn airport where it it operating from. Quick rush along and you too can get pictures of this 'chemtrail tanker'

Use the playback facility on Flight Radar to see the track. I really do despair at some of you conspiracy theorists! And yes the Airbus A330 Voyager aircraft is civil registered while it is undergoing testing before hand over.

No problem. If anything the OPs post shows how people can misinterpret distance and especially when dealing with contrails.

This is Truro, Cornwall.
The picture shows where the photograph was taken from and the direction it was facing (see Red Arrow).
The ellipse is where i estimate the chemtrail to be directly above.

Ok. Nice bit of work.
Now can someone explain why the military or commercial jets are doing such maneuvers like this, especially 'S' shapes.
In 45 years i have never, ever seen this happen with jets coming in from America. If they are ahead of schedule they still have 200 miles to go at a slower velocity before they reach Heathrow.
Why not just decelerate and save costly fuel. Instead they have burnt more fuel by doing loops.
Maybe someone on ATS knows what the minimum velocity of a 747 is before stalling. So simply slowing down slightly with 200 miles to go would have solved the ahead of schedule problem.
