This is the same cloud as shown in far better detail in Karl's picture #3383, taken here at 11.45 on the 20th July.
It was taken at the top of Buttquoy Crescent look down Dundas Crescent so we are seeing just west of north in this picture. When I saw Karl's picture I thought 'I wish I'd seen that', and it was only this morning when I looked at the pictures on my camera phone that I realised that the 'nice cloud' I'd seen was in fact noctilucent. Me a physicist too- but aeronomy was never my strong point...
