Any RAF types on here?

Hiya guys, I'm on holiday in the Lake District and keep seeing a couple of single engined planes over Coniston way and the Hard knott area and was just wondering what type of plane they are? They look like WW2 fighter planes and have RAF roundels on but aren't painted camouflage.
They look and sound fantastic. Do the RAF use this type of plane for training purposes, maybe the next one up from the basic starter plane before they go onto jets?
