1981 Arrows A3 racing in Group 4B (1966-1983 Formula 1) at the 2011 Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion.
I just couldn't get these little blighters in focus unless they were close up, and not when they were scooting a mile or two away up into the clouds. So this is an 'impression' of The Red Arrows, just the Magnificent 7 today due to two pilot fatalities in 2012

Airbourne is proud to welcome back the RAF Aerobatic Team, the Red Arrows, one of the world's premier aerobatic display teams. 2014 marks a special year for the team who will be celebrating their 50th display season.
With a trademark combination of close formations and precision flying, the Red Arrows have been displaying since 1965 and is made up of a team of 120 people including pilots, engineers and support staff. They represent the speed, agility and precision of the Royal Air Force and the public face of the service, assist in recruiting to the Armed Forces and act as ambassadors for the United Kingdom promoting the best of British.
Many of the current pilots were first inspired to pursue a career in the military and join the Royal Air Force after watching the Team in the sky as children.
To apply for selection to the Red Arrows, pilots must:
* Have at least 1,500 fast jet flying hours
* Have completed a frontline tour
* Be assessed as above average in their flying role
The Red Arrows are famous for the visual impact of their red, white and blue smoke trails. Smoke also plays an important flight safety role too allowing the pilots to judge wind speed and direction - enabling them to locate other aircraft when different sections of the Team's formations are several miles apart.

Here is a photo of my Green Arrow suit based on the Smallville design. This one is geared more towards the season 9 version.

This decorative "Arrow Slit" stands out in contrast to the decaying wall of Howth Castle.
The "Pirate Queen" Gráinne Uí Mhaille anglicised as "Grace O'Malley" paid a visit here in 1576 and as Wikipedia reports below:
A widespread legend concerns an incident at Howth, which apparently occurred in 1576. During a trip from Dublin, O'Malley attempted to pay a courtesy visit to Howth Castle, home of Lord Howth. However, she was informed that the family was at dinner and the castle gates were closed against her. In retaliation, she abducted the Earl's grandson and heir, Christopher St Lawrence, 10th Baron Howth. He was eventually released when a promise was given to keep the gates open to unexpected visitors and to set an extra place at every meal. Lord Howth gave her a ring as pledge on the agreement. The ring remains in the possession of a descendant of O'Malley and, at Howth Castle today, this agreement is still honoured by the Gaisford St. Lawrence family, descendants of the Baron.[27] (Commemorating these events, there is in Howth a street of 1950s local council housing named 'Grace O'Malley Road'.)

1960s Ariel Arrow and Ariel Leader, photographed in May 2012.
These two bikes have recently been lovingly restored by my father Don and his mate Richard. Both originally date from 1960 and were built by the British Ariel Motorcycle company in Birmingham. They share the same engine, a 250cc 2-stroke parallel twin but with different levels of tune producing in the region of 16 brake horsepower with a top speed of around 70 mph in favourable conditions.
In July this year my dad and brother Michael will be riding these two bikes the length of the UK from Land's End to John o' Groats raising funds for the NSPCC along the way, and this seemed like a perfect opportunity to photograph the two machines together.
To find out more about the road trip and help the fund raising effort see the blog page at top2toe2.wordpress.com. In the meantime enjoy this example of fabulous 1960's automotive styling.
