Hello all,
I'm no transport photographer, but I shot this image recently:

Airbus A340 Contrail by Photo Plod, on Flickr
It is, as far as I can tell, an Airbus A340, and it had just taken off from Heathrow Airport. It flew overhead while I was walking along the Thames on a sunny afternoon. I snapped it very quickly with my D80, and just about managed to get it at full extension of my 80 - 200mm lens.
I don't know if there's a word for it - the plane had just started leaving a contrail, but clearly there's condensation coming off all along the wings as well - at least, I assume that's what it is. Can anyone assist in confirming this, and making sure that I've identified the aircraft correctly?
C&C also welcome, of course![Big Grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
