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.

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 :D

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

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