Joining up with a British aviation legend - great to share the skies today with Spitfire K5054 on its UK tour, marking the 90th anniversary of the aircraft type’s first flight and supporting the Mark Long Trust and RAF Benevolent Fund. #Spitfire90 #Spitfire #RedArrows #RAF

January ☑️ As we enter February, looking back at a month when the weather wasn’t always our friend! Several days of poor conditions meant far fewer formation flights than we would have liked. But on the occasions when there were clear skies, we made gradual progress. #RedArrows

Let’s celebrate 50 years since Concorde’s first commercial flight in January 1976 with these wonderful archive images - always a magic aviation moment when the Red Arrows were able to join the supersonic legend in the skies. #RedArrows | #Concorde | #Aviation

Awesome to join Sara Cox on stage and welcome her to the Children in Need studio after an incredible fundraising achievement. The Red Arrows were honoured to be part of last night’s show having flown Greg James in a Pudsey challenge and completing a flyover for Sara Cox yesterday

The Hawk looking brilliant parked under the lights at MediaCity UK - venue for Children in Need’s live show tonight. Team members were joined by personnel from 611 Squadron, based at RAF Woodvale, helping to show people around the jet as part of a public event at Salford Quays.

Sara Cox is down there somewhere…! Reds 6 and 7 went in search of Sara Cox during a training sortie - passing over North Yorkshire to wish the presenter luck. The ⁦@BBCRadio2⁩ host is on the final day of an epic 135-mile ⁦@BBCCiN⁩ challenge run. #SaraCIN #RedArrows

Great to join @BBCBreakfast this morning to talk about the #RedArrows’ collaboration with Children in Need. The Officer Commanding and Red 1 spoke about flying Greg James last month for a Pudsey challenge, teamwork and what training is carried out to prepare for a busy season.
