Five light aircraft flew west over Mona Vale in tight formation around 1750 today. Anyone know what they were doing ?

The sound of the five engines very close together was great.

I got some photos Grahame that I will post later tonight. They appeared to be Red Baron aircraft (2x Pitts & 3x Alpha 160's) followed by a chase plane. Came from northern beaches way, flew over Mosman & did a couple of circuits around the middle of the harbour.

[Grahame Hutchison]

Thanks Jayden, They were heading west and away from me by the time I got outside, however my wife said the front two were red. Didn't catch the chase aircraft.
