13/6/13 Solo Red
Did anyone else see the solo red arrow in circuit this afternoon, it went round 4 times before it departed when another tuc came into the circuit. I got the shock of my life when I saw it, I was minding my own business driving down the lane when I heard an almighty roar, I was hoping I would finally see a tyhoon or tornado up close on the airfield, I looked right and there it was lifting up to go around again, what a sight. it's a very rare to see a jet go through and for it to be a red is a real bonus, I will cherish this moment when c.fenton shuts at the end of the year. Does anyone know which Red it was?

Dont know which it was but it looks like it also did circuits at Leeming that day too.

I saw it - around 1400, departed north. Not the first time I've seen a solo Red Arrows schemed Hawk circuit bashing at Fenton but always nice to see. I thought I saw on FB a short time ago that Red 10 was flying a black Hawk so perhaps nothing more sinister than airframe exchange/rotation with Leeming's Hawks (some folk suggested that the Reds would make an appearance at the YUAS families day - about as likely as the much mooted Vulcan appearance I'd say!).
I have some very poor pictures - I'll root one out later.

Apologies for the quality but didn't even have time to put my boots on (photographed from garden in socks!).
