What's this going vertical over Glasgow ?

Anyone know what this is, obviously not a schedule flight from the airport, going far too vertical for that


Sorry for quality of pic, point a shoot.

Looks like something at high altitude and although appearing to be going upwards, may just be coming towards you from a distance.

Judging by the fact it has a vapour trail behind it, I would suggest it is at 25,000 feet plus, and not something that has just departed an airport.

High altitude, either towards or from the Pond.

Thanks that makes sense; should have thought of that. Guess a jet coming from America then and not an missile launch

Apologies for the thread hijack, I was down in St Ives in June and saw this. Apparently it is called a light diffusion trail cause by the plane moving through the air/light relecting on the moisture. Never seen one before
