One looked to be painted half and half in blue and white. Anyone know anything about them?

Ah! Thanks. Couldn't see much as they were just beyond the tree line but I thought they were quite close to one another smile

In fact now I know what planes they were I've done some digging and found that it was probably an experience package from goactionstations.co.uk. Apparently you fly alongside or observe from the air while the dog fighting's taking place. Pretty pricey but then not something you see every day!

Extremely pricey!! Just noticed they're charging over £2k just to fly alongside the Canadian lanc!
