Merlin ZH857 seems to have dropped into Altcar, not sure if this is where they are all based though.
Merlin ZJ132 is heading West towards Altcar now.

Re: 7 Rotary aircraft 26/2 3/3.17 in close formation Irish S
There's been quite a bit of Chinook activity around Barton as of recently, just got in and heard the familiar sounds of them. As I thought it was quite late I flicked on planeplotter to show the airframe below was heading south in the Low Level route. It's a fairly clear sky tonight and I can see part of the low level route out of window. True to form there's two Chinook's in formation, the rear and higher one with nav lights on, the lower and lead without. It appears they are on a night nav exercise? They were working Manchester RADAR on >118.575< but sadly as my VHF/UHF antenna is down at the minute and I was unprepared, I didn't snag a A2A freq (I really wish I would have). I did have my HF rig on at the time and set it loose on the low-VHF but didn't get anything, so one can presume they aren't chatty or are using a UHF freq. Here's the info from Plane plotter below. Time seen was 22:40z.
