    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.

    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!
