I've seen the Red Arrows a few times, and these are my favourite pictures of them. September 1993 - nearly 30 years ago - on Jersey. There is an annual free air show there, over the bay to the west of the capital, St Helier. Most people gather along the shoreline, but we went out to Elizabeth Castle, which is about 1 km out into the bay. It turned out that the Red Arrows used the castle as the focus of their display, flying past it at low altitude, and even coming straight down towards it when coming out of loops. I've also been in Cyprus in the Spring. Before the summer season in the UK, they go down to RAF Akrotiri to develop and practise their routines. I spent one afternoon parked just outside the base, watching an extended display by them.

I went along yesterday. There was a healthy crowd. It was a full strength Brora squad. I was really impressed with Robbie Thompson, the big no 5 and Ethan Cairns.
