'RED 1'
The day I shot this image of Red1 of the RAF Red Arrows transiting back to RAF Scampton through the Mach Loop from RAF Valley after essential simulator training - was a very sad one indeed. When I arrived home I received the news that Red3 had crashed at RAF Valley. Thankfully the pilot continues to make a full recovery but tragically, my thoughts go out to the family, friends & colleagues of the brave engineer (Blue) that was in the back seat.
It was a poignant reminder that whether Our airmen & women are training or on operations they risk their lives daily and for myself, it certainly put the hobby into perspective.
