Hi all

Whilst at work i noticed 3 aircraft flying in a triangle formation at approximately 11:25am over the Birmingham Area ( BHx to be exact!). They were high enough for contrails and too high to get any kind of shape.

Any ideas on what these could be? Just found it unusual? I suspect il be told this is normal!?

F-15s were noted heading for Wales. Typhoons were also noted heading east during the same period.
