Anybody have any ID on the pair of Typhoons at high level making a lot of noise over Somerset this afternoon, seen when out walking in the Ilchester area

[Judwin71]

A second A139 G-CILP landed late yesterday afternoon, not sure if this was to collect the crew of G-CILN?? (I did not see if it departed)

Can't help with serials, but I think there was a practice QRA down here at about that time. A Cobham Falcon 20 showing as FRA99 on PP was messing about over near Barnstable. FRA99 is one of the usual 'baddie' callsigns.
