Looks like a formation of 4 fighters to me.

Excellent find, Marko, and welcome. There was a similar find a while back in Florida, but most can't see it now because it's in the "legacy database" and it will soon be lost to all. We can't expect moving objects to stay around for too long, but you have given our new members a chance to see this new find. Maybe someone has a picture of the old 4 jet formation and can post it as a reply.

Strange ones. The don't look like anything on the French inventory, but rather more like the Italian Aermacchi MB339 trainer. Perhaps they're returning from a visit to the UK...

Cheers

The Italian Airforce Display team "Frecce Tricolori" use 10 MB339s and visits the UK occasionally, last in June 2005

I know I'm a bit late with this one, but these four jets are part of the Breitling jet display team team:
