Note my comments to the article about soaring near Oxford when the
persistent contrails filled the southern sky.
Yes, and I remember the discussion on r.a.s about contrails and their
spread-out to form cirrus just after the post-9/11 three day warm
period was reported. IIRC the discussion then was about the effect of
contrails in the soaring areas beneath flight paths out of large US
West Coast airports.

In the USA there was a rather well done program on NOVA or Frontline
(PBS) that investigated the impact of the contrails and concluded that
contrails actually contribute to global cooling - not warming!
So, how did they explain the 1 degree C rise in ground temperature during
the three days when all civil aviation was grounded?
