Red Arrows 50th

Am amazing 96 out of a theoretical max of around 150 ex-team members attended the End of Season Dinner at RAF Cranwell on Saturday. An amazing turn-out, allowing for those who have sadly 'gone tech' over the years and those working far away, and terrific to see the number of ex-leaders and also those members from the very early days, plus all the team friends and associates, new and old, amongst the 290'ish who attended.

Well done to the 2014 team - a great display year for the half-century, and good luck to the FNGs for 2015 and the future.

Wonderful evening. Henry Prince, 82 years old, kept going till 3am and was bright as a button at breakfast. What a guy. What an impressive collection of aviation talent. Humbling.

I went to several EoS Guest Nights when a R A Trustee in late 80s/early 90s - some of the most memorable events I have attended ever. I well remember the 25th season and my then rug rabbit telling the Mange "My teddy has a suit like that". AS not amused! Many congratulations on the 50th.

I certainly know of one 'friend of the team' that I met who did.
