Huh, I've never seen K-H clouds over anywhere, let alone photographed
them. I'm jealous!

Typical. It's not often you get something beautiful in Basildon but I
went to the Chilterns on Wednesday to photograph the Red Kites and
missed it! Still, they were nice.

Nice, but I strongly suspect a hoax. The conditions for K-H waves are simply not there. The Herstmonceux ascent for 12Z 15th April shows very little wind shear. Also, the humdity is too low.

I saw what looked like the remnants of one of these over Wanstead earlier, about 2.45. It looked to have formed from a jet contrail but had decayed - I didn't get the chance to photograph it as I was driving

You think the 20kt shear in the moist layer at 350hPa is insufficient?

Seen them in the Teign Valley, but it was before the days of mobile phones and I wasn't carrying a camera in my golf bag!
