Unidentied squirrels over Swansea

Circa about 11 am this morning noticed a group of four squirrles flying high In the Swansea area o0f South Wales, in formation heading NE, moments later two more stragglers went over, noticed the last two initially seemed like police aircraft, with an overall dark colour but some parts/panels yellow. I gues sthey could be military also though from that, all were very high all six of them but they were definitely squirrels. Anybody know anything r4e what they were, where going?

Sounds Like DHFS from Shawbury to me - colour scheme matches (black with yellow panels) and i can't think of anyone else who would have cause to put together than number of such aircraft.

OH

Were they red squirrels or grey squirrels?

Sounds like RAF training aircraft.

Guess that must be the answer OvertHawk. I did wonder oif there was as much as 6 of them left in the police force country wide, probably not.
