Been hearing this in the London area over the past year and have worked out that they are testing ILS and other systems. Just wanted a bit more info if anyone has it on type and where they are based.

Picked up from when the aircraft have been 'doing it' at Doncaster,
There is usually a number suffix whilst flying to and from the various airfields,they then use 'Calibrator' whilst actually doing the testing
