The view could perhaps be anywhere though in fact it’s the dawn sky above Meols looking in the direction of Wallasey and Liverpool. Many thanks to Vaughan Williams for sending me this great image of the dawn sky, criss-crossed with the vapour trails from the evidently many planes that fly above our heads.
The sky can though, on very rare occasions, be completely free of aeroplanes. Remember the volcanic ash clouds …that was very nearly three years ago.
Glorious shot of the sky with trails. Thanks Vaughan Williams (any relation?) Presumably the vertical trails are planes flying into LIverpool, and the horizontal ones are those overflying from Canada/US on their way down to Heathrow etc? Someone told me that planes on certain routes from the West fly over Ireland and then turn right at the beacon which you can just see in the fields on the Moreton “stretch”. (nearly opposite the BP station). Don’t know how true that is.. .?
