Chinooks and Merlins over South Wales

Chinooks flying between Cardiff and Newport yesterday in direction of Brecon
About again today just seen 4 of them heading East with under slung loads.
A couple of Merlins were ahead of them.

They were seen above North Bristol Saturday and Sunday. Also saw a couple of Pumas and an Apache Sunday afternoon. They were heading east-west tracking along the M4.
Isn't there some airborne exercise going on at Salisbury plain at the moment?
