Many, many contrails, a higher concentration that I've seen before
at approx 5.30 this morning looking NE from Oswestry, I think they
were heading South, from Manchester, Liverpool and all airports
North.

.... I agree: undoubtedly, there is a good deal of 'natural' cloud in
and rearward of the upper trough axis, but when I looked out this
morning (~0500Z), the sky was covered with newly-formed contrails, and
we now have complete cover of what looks to be the result of those +
of course the aforementioned tropospheric cirriform cloud.

A marked contrast to a few days ago before Willie Walsh pointed his
aircraft at London and said .... " I'm coming in "!
