Was lucky enough to get a Thai Airways 777 transit earlier this month.

Grouse one Peter :thumbsup:
It is a lot of effort to keep prepared to catch these, 'for this duck anyways' ;)

Chalk one up for your self :thumbsup:

Wow!!! That's a stunner :prey2:, what a fantastic capture.... contrail transit!
I love the Adrenalin rush involved in trying to capture Moon/plane transits. Or even close encounters IMO sometimes can look even better than an actual transit, making each the star of the photo. Thai Airways is my favourite plane, I love its livery so much, it's very regal!
Great work, would love to share this on our fb page.

Thank you...no problems from me if you want to share - pity I can't get a better res version to you - compression kills it. Regards Pete
