From Helston between 17:20 and 17:30 I saw a pair of Rafales make three formation fly throughs of Culdrose runway 29’. Anyone have any serial info?

14.9.23 again this evening between 17:15 and 17:30 two Rafales seen flying formation and individual circuits of RNAS Culdrose runway 29’. Anyone who has info on the reason for these welcome visits or any serial info would be appreciated.

Managed to get a shot from Porthleven while I’m down here on holiday, not my best work 
They looked to be marked 35 and 12

Excellent many thanks ian531, a good shot from Porthleven. I was viewing from Helston. A friend who was in the Culdrose viewing enclosure, near the runway, visually confirmed what you photo also shows. 12 & 35 French Navy from Landivisiau
