Can anyone help identify 2x Hercules (appeared to have refuelling probes so likely RAF) which flew over the eastern end of Loch Katrine (which is near Loch Lomond) at approximately 1250 BST Thu 17 August 2017?

ZH883 was replaced on 16/08 by ZH887, so, on 17/08 the 2 would have been ZH887 & 888 (TDY Prestwick)
