The Red Arrows

Image
I think without the doubt whenever i hear that the arrows are coming to do an air display i feel a shiver of excitement. I absolutely LOVE going down to the seafront in Weston and wandering down onto the sand so i can get some uninterrupted shots of these amazingly skilled pilots as the speed across the sky. I am no photographer i just aim and hope but each year i manage to get some fabulous pictures of them. These are some of the pictures that I took this summer. Here they come!!! There are some super facts about the Red Arrows on their official site or on Wikipedia. You cant be a reserve pilot in the red arrows if one pilot is away they will only fly with 8. If the main pilot -Red 1- is unable to fly, none of the Red Arrows fly. To be a pilot in the the Red arrows means you have to be the best of the best. Each pilot flies for 3 years and every year 3 pilots are changed.                         ...
