We quite regularly get these at Canary Wharf, sometimes even in formation, following the river. So Yadda-YADda-YADDA as the come down one side of the area, following the bend of the river to Greenwich, then a minute later Yadda-YADda-YADDA as they come back up the other side.
Quite some years ago now there was a Lord Mayor's Show one Saturday morning, including a substantial heavy helicopter formation, which assembled over London City. Weather awful, heavy rain, and cloud down to display height. They tried to formate up for about five minutes, deafening the area, before knocking it on the head. Shame. I wonder if any of their crews are on here now.
