    I’ve taken a break from Twitter for a while, but it’s great to be back! What an honour to take command of such a dedicated and hard-working team of engineers, support staff and pilots.
    A new Officer Commanding of the #RedArrows is carrying out his first full day in the position. In the role, Wing Commander Adam Collins has responsibility for both the air and ground crews that deliver the team’s displays and engagement. Read more here: raf.mod.uk/display-teams/…

    Last flight as Red 10 today, marking the end of an amazing 4 seasons in the role. Look out for my favourite photos over the next few days before I hand over the Twitter reins to Musky!

    A different perspective! Looking at the magnum break from all sides - @fletchera108 and I flew back from Bournemouth separately from the main @rafredarrows formation; we met up overhead @RAFScampton to capture this.

    Very excited to see the 2022 @rafredarrows display schedule published on various news websites today. I’m not entirely sure how, as I’m due to start planning the ‘22 season this week …😬 Expect the official display locations and dates for 2022 to be published in March.

    A real team effort to make this flypast happen, especially in such testing times. A special mention to the @rafredarrows photographers for processing the video and images so quickly!

    Teamwork. It required over 120 people to capture this picture; admin, logistics, engineers, PR, the display pilots and the photographer in my back seat to name a few. We are all honoured and privileged to be part of this team, representing the RAF and the UK across the globe.

    I’m delighted to announce that the @rafredarrows will be displaying as a 10-ship this year! The supervision and commentary will be carried out by a member of the audience at each show, selected at random. 📷: credit to whoever took this photo.

    Very picturesque, but not the ideal flying weather for a Monday morning!

    So many amazing images of the #redarrowstour from Circus 10 and the RAFAT photo team, I can’t pick a favourite! Such a privilege to see these views from the cockpit!
