Big up to No.6 who took off last and decided to ignore / forgot / chose to ignore Leeming climb out rules. Very nice:). Pity our national display team jets don't look as smart as the French ones.

I don't agree,in my opinion the Red Arrows are much smarter looking than the Patrouille de France and if what you say is correct (about no.6 ignoring/forgetting/choosing to ignore Leeming's climb-out rules) then it shows how undisciplined they are.The Reds simply wouldn't do that.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder -I just like the tricolours in the Patrouille de France but the Hawk is a smarter looking jet. But Flaps I 100% agree with you about the Red Arrows as their climb out would be an accurate, detailed and precise formation. The frenchies were all singletons going off low level and straight, low level and banked (thanks 6), straight low level and straight high level. It was difficult keeping up.
