I reckon Aeromxico for the first and a TUI 767 (could be any of the companies they now own) for the second.

Hi Guys,
Thanks for the help, still probing the first one, but after looking again at the original file of the second one its a TUI group B767. The first could well be the AeroMexico, the markings seem to fit in well, If i could tie up the times of the Aeromexico that was overhead GLA, then it would be problem solved.

Thanks again

Raymy.

Why would a TUI 767 be overhead Glasgow?? I thought aircraft only route that way if they are heading to the west coast of the USA.

True....but I still think if it was overhead GLA it would either be going to or returning from the west coast of the USA....where of course thomsonfly do not fly to;)

If im not wrong....thomsonfly only fly to Florida in the USA and usually take a southerly atlantic track.

For me, the engines on the second one make it a 777 anyways :D

The second one I think is AAL 777, these are very common over Glasgow , as you have them coming from LHR , LGW and the rest of Europe the reason it looks grey is the angle that you are looking at the picture, you can not make out the top half of the fusalage .Unless you have a callsign , it wiil be very hard to Id this one
ACARS - Digital data link Full name is Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting System ,if you do a google search you will find all the answers you need
