Date & Time: 09 February 2027 - 17:30 - 19:00

Where: Online

Host: Guy Bartlett ‘The Aeroplane Man’

Red Arrows pilots are amongst the most highly-qualified and experienced within the Royal Air Force. During the display season the Red Arrows perform between 75 -85 air displays and more than 100 fly-pasts. Each pilot is hand-picked and only a very few will be given the privilege of representing the RAF both in the UK and abroad. Their Hawk aircraft are essentially the same as those used by the Advanced Flying Training students at Royal Air Force Valley, with the exception of smoke generators and a slightly uprated engine. Guy will share some of their history with you.
