Did you know the Red Arrows don’t just do Display flying? With the retirement of ‘Black’ Hawk T1 aircraft, the Red Arrows are tasked to support RAF Centre of Aviation Medicine, Test & Evaluation Trial work and Flying Training for the new pilots. Additional aircraft inbound…
Can you tell what it is yet?! With the Red Arrows taking on additional tasks, more Hawks needed! I’ve been tasked to grow the fleet to 17. With 11 overseas on #SPRINGHAWK, work doesn’t stop with aircraft currently undergoing depth maintenance, paint and conversion. 🔧
Congratulations! The Red Arrows have successfully completed their annual assessment, known as Public Display Authority (PDA). 2022 will be the busiest season in four years, with more than 65 displays across the UK and beyond. Well done to all involved! 🔴⚪️🔵
Welcome Home! Ten Red Arrows returned home today (one Hawk aircraft returned earlier this week) after completing pre-season training and carrying out the team’s first display of 2022 in #France. I may have a welcome home present for them… 😉
New arrival! Whilst the Red Arrows were overseas, we’ve painted an ex 100 Sqn Hawk & rebuilt it ahead of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Flypast. The first arrival of 3 as we grow the fleet to 17. XX202 doesn’t smoke 🔴⚪️🔵 but will be used in the interim whilst we covert others.
Big day tomorrow! Red Arrows tucked up ahead of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Flypast. Tonight is no different to any other with the technicians, known as the Blues, carrying maintenance to ensure the Hawk’s are fit for purpose. Who else is excited to see the smoke? 🔴⚪️🔵
Aircraft from the Royal Navy, British Army 🇬🇧 & Royal Air Force will celebrate Her Majesty The Queen’s #PlatinumJubilee with a flypast today. Up to 70 aircraft will pass over Buckingham Palace at 1300, subject to weather, serviceability & operational commitments. The Royal Family
Inside the hangar at #RAF Scampton, #Lincolnshire this morning - the #RedArrows jets being prepared to be towed out, ready for a very big day. Over #London at 1300 for the #PlatinumJubilee flypast and then Midlands Air Festival for our first UK display of 2022, at 1730 this evening.
Smoke on go! First Red Arrows UK public appearance of 2022 and what a way to kick start the display season! Absolute spectacle but the team can’t rest as they have a busy couple of days with displays at @midlandsairfestival and @englishrivieraairshow. 📷 - @ministryofdefence
We have been notified of a technical issue which may affect the safe operation of our ejector seats in Typhoon and Red Arrows aircraft. We have paused non-essential flying as a temporary safety precaution until the situation is better understood.
Yesterday was a busy day but always worth it. Red Arrows now cleared for flight. 🔧
