The Red Arrows soar over Jordanstown, Northern Ireland on Armed Forces Day 2024 last month. Navy, Army & RAF personnel paraded through town, joined by a gun salute. A fitting tribute to our Armed Forces, bringing communities together in support across the UK.

An RAF ATLAS C.1 (A400M) and Chinook fly low level through the valleys of Wales known as the β€˜Mach Loop’ during a practice sortie. The Mach Loop is among the few places in the world where photographers can see military aircraft flying below them.
