Seeing the red arrows at clacton airshow last year really was a treat seeing as they haven’t visited in a good few years and glad to see their return planned for this year! @rafredarrows

Athens 🇬🇷
The Red Arrows soared over Athens on Sunday evening to help mark the 95th anniversary of the Hellenic Air Force.
The Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team is in Greece for a month-long pre-season training exercise.

Take-off for Greece and final pre-season preparations.
The Red Arrows left their Lincolnshire home of RAF Waddington earlier today to begin Exercise Springhawk.
This five-week overseas deployment allows the team to perfect and polish the new display, which will be seen by millions of people this summer.
The finer, more settled weather in Greece provides greater opportunity to fly up to 15 sorties a week.
Exercise Springhawk also affords chance for the whole team - both air and ground crew - to focus on preparing for a busy summer season of shows, flypasts and engagements.

It’s 90 years to the day since the first flight of the Spitfire. Let’s celebrate with these archive images of the Red Arrows flying with various examples of the aviation icon.

January ☑️ As we enter February, looking back at a month when the weather wasn’t always our friend!
Several days of poor conditions at our home of RAF Waddington meant far fewer opportunities to carry out formation flying than we would have liked.
But on the rare occasions when there were clear skies, we made gradual progress preparing for the summer season.

Let’s celebrate 50 years since Concorde’s first commercial flight in January 1976 with these wonderful archive images - always a magic aviation moment when the Red Arrows were able to join the supersonic legend in the skies.

During seven seasons with the Red Arrows, Wing Commander Adam Collins flew over famous landmarks and took part in huge national occasions – most notably the Coronation.
But reflecting on his time with Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team (RAFAT), including as Officer Commanding (OC), he said the highlight was the chance to work alongside “the most professional and dedicated” people of his 27-year Service career.
Wg Cdr Collins has just completed his three-year tour in charge of the team – handing over to Wg Cdr Sasha Nash.
It was the second of his two tours with the Lincolnshire-based unit, having previously served as Red 10 – the team supervisor and commentator – across four seasons.
He said there were many standout moments but it was seeing, first-hand, the commitment and output of the 150 people in the entire Red Arrows team, spanning both air and ground crew, that had been the most cherished.
Wg Cdr Collins said: “Despite having had many amazing experiences flying a red jet all around the world, taking part in some incredible events and meeting everyone from young aviation enthusiasts to royalty, the highlight of my time on the team is working with the most professional, dedicated and hardworking people in my career.”
