Hi,

03/02.
A nice surprise for me. I noticed on planeplotter an A330MRTT coming towards me at FL250. Went outside and saw some more contrails behind. Turned out to be 4 Eurofighters, which later went for refueling over the English channel. It's unfortunate that I didn't have time to remove the 2x lens.

Just after sunset so I tried something different. The First photo is a photomerge of 6 photos.
