Red Arrows. Never seen the red arrows come over before here. And they were noisy. Does this mean anything?

Not really, they do lots of training flights, plus sometimes move between airfields for admin reasons

They are probably just training. They don’t use them for military purposes, they are a display squadron.

They're based in Scampton, so they often flying over Lincolnshire.

As they won't be flying in (cancelled) shows over Easter, they've probably buzzed off to somewhere remote for a bit of training and to keep flying hours up. They can't really do anything flashy over busy areas, and though it would be a nice moment (I once saw them by chance when stuck in a long tailback, and it was good for morale) it's a bit tactless in the prevailing national mood

There are several airfields and an air museum that way OP so possibly in training for something.
