146 & 2 125's in close formation

Just a query.......
Bae 146 & 2 HS125's (Queens flight?) flying round Berks in close formation for past 20 minutes or so now.
Any ideas what it's about?
Cheers

It was a nice tight formation over Marlow - they came round at least 3 or 4 times.

There was a display at Pangborne today, which included the Red Arrows.

Well, good to know what it was.

I got a video of them flying past my house... damn low and in formation... freaked us out more than a little.

Heathrow ATC had no idea what it was when I enquired

Sorry about the Shaky Cam (tm) was trying to get the tail numbers

Of course Heathrow ATC would have know about it. They are just too busy to waste time answering questions from spotters.
