Are the red arrows still at Scampton or did they depart abroad? Only ask as I saw a single red arrow over Whisby nature reserve trailing white smoke today, didn't see exactly where it went but thought it was odd for a Sunday? If they didn't leave yet maybe it was an air test before they all depart this week sometime.

They all departed Thursday, didn't have the scanner on so unsure how many actually went, and they've been very quiet on social media.
Scampton is also closed now for runway repairs.

The Hawk earlier this afternoon was an air test after maintenance, its due to join the other jets at Tanagra.

Reds up in R313 for their first post PDA practice over Scampton, looking good from my 'office window'

Doing a 'full' display, think there's only 8 up.

One pilot is bringing back the jet that went U/s in Croatia, currently in France.

Reds did a practice yesterday, and are up again now.

The weather is pretty naff here, surprised they are doing a practice.

Off to Prestwick later today.
