Formation of light piston ac in LFA 17 today.
Hey guys,
Earlier today (about 1410L), I encountered a formation of about 5 light single piston ac in LFA 17, heading NW from the Malham Tarn area. They were all the same type, looking much like french Epsilons, with distinctive light airframes and dayglo high-vis flashes. They were transiting in a gaggle, about 1/4nm spaced, at about 250' MSD.
With a sense of due trepidation and awaiting the inevitable sarcy replies...does anyone know who they were and why they were in the LFS?

French Grobs heading north? Cool. Are they here as part of an exercise?
