Arrows Display at RAF Scampton This Morning
The Arrows took off as a 4 and a 5 ship formation just after 9.30 this morning and did a full display over RAF Scampton. In all my years of living near the base I can't recall them doing that before 10.00am on a Sunday. Anyone know if it was just a mid year practice (seems strange on a Sunday) or if there was any other reason?
Re: Arrows Display at RAF Scampton This Morning
They've only been using 8 jets for displays recently, maybe a full practice for all 9 pilots this morning if the sick pilot is back?

That would make sense. Made a pleasant way to start a Sunday morning, as they displayed whilst I was outside having my breakfast before the rain came! They took off later as 3 flights of 3. When they came back there was 10 in formation. Made a super sight with their lights on against a dark sky.

Good morning
Are they stil practicing during the week, or are they dormant?

There has been the odd one, but I've not been keeping track.

Re: Arrows Display at RAF Scampton This Morning
Reds are elsewhere at various points this week, so today/tomorrow will be your best chance of seeing them at Scampton, that's if they need a practice after Sundays practice and display down south.
Shawbury 12th
Valley 12th
Location TBD 13th
Odiham 14th
They are also at Syerston on the 25th, for an RAF Air Cadets Aerospace camp VIP day, BBMF and Falcons also planned to attend.
