Every day this week around 2 pm. Whoop, Whoop, Whoop as two Chinooks fly overhead. Does anybody know what they are up to?

We were playing golf at Kinloss the other week and the Typhoons were doing circuits, I didn't think there was enough of them to have operational squadrons yet, I thought it might have been Mirages or the like but obviously not going by the BBC link, nice looking planes though,
