Backseater enjoys the view. Landing for the overnight stop of the world famous Red Arrows Sisplay Team - note the special markings celebrating 100 years of the Royal Air Force
F/L Phil Bird of 208 Squadron was the RAF's Hawk Solo Display pilot for the 2012 season. Note the RAF Valley Station crest on the fin. XX278 later changed colours, performing with the Red Arrows.
The Red Arrows left KB just after lunch, on the foggy spottersday, prior to the Sanicole Air Show 2015. It was nice to see this special coloured Hawk T.1A (XX278; cn103/312103) - with complete red vertical tail - during take-off from RWY23.
