    We will remember them. I’ll never forget flying over the Normandy beaches on the 80th anniversary of D-Day. Honour of my life. Thank you @rafredarrows for the awesome backdrop.

    A very emotional day. Last Typhoon Display complete. It’s been an amazing (and busy) year! Thanks to everyone for the support and I have loved meeting and chatting to so many of you. I think this was the perfect way to end it. 🫳🎤 Photo 📷: Lee William James Blakeborough

    It’s a huge privilege to be nominated as the Typhoon Display Pilot & I am extremely excited to work with such a magnificent team. I look forward to representing the Royal Air Force showcasing the capabilities of the Typhoon, one of the most advanced fighter aircraft in the world!

    Hello everyone! Great fun today, flying my ‘flat’ display for the first time. That event marks 8/10 1500’ practices for me, so assuming my displays on Weds & Thurs go well - I look forward to dropping down to lower heights next week! 🔥🔥 #reheat
