Living near the airport I often see single choppers but seeing four flying in in formation is most unusual.

And they aren't showing up on flight radar..heading from Aberdeen towards the highlands just now. military?

What kind of helicopters? Or, at least, what colour were they?

There are some military exercises on just now. We had a Hercules circling low over our place in Deeside last week - a bit loud too.

Too far away to tell, but looked maybe a bit smaller than the normal offshory ones..
