'Ladies and gentlemen, The Red Arrows!'

These words are heard around the UK at air displays and other significant events throughout the year. Everyone has heard of the Red Arrows, and most people have seen a spectacular display by the team. Representing the very public face of the Royal Air Force the Red Arrows serve to demonstrate the professionalism and excellence of the RAF and to promote recruitment. A Red Arrows display is always polished, always executed with precision, always breathtakingly exciting and always very, very impressive.

So what happens within the team, behind the scenes and in the air as the team put on their polished performance? Even before a display season ends, the team is preparing for the next season, through winter and into spring the close-knit team of flying and support staff operate to a gruelling schedule - flying up to four times each day. It's not just about the pilots, the Red Arrows team is a squadron of 100 dedicated people who strive to represent the best that the Royal Air Force has to offer.

Officially launched by author/photographer Jamie Hunter and Wing Commander Jas Hawker, Red 1, with the rest of the Team at the Biggin Hill International Air Fair June 2009. 

 

 

Customer Reviews

I bought this beautiful book as a birthday gift for my husband who saw the Red Arrows at a display last year, and he was really thrilled. What a bonus to be able to obtain a copy signed by the author Jamie Hunter – whose aviation photography is absolutely amazing.
