I found the story below from Teletext
Here
FIRST WOMAN JOINS RED ARROWS
A female RAF squadron leader has become the first woman to join the Red Arrows aerobatics team.
Lyn Johnson has swapped her job as equerry to the Duke of Edinburgh for a stint as the team's new manager.
The 42-year-old has the honour of being the first woman to wear the Arrows' coveted red flying suit - although her role will be an administrative one.
-----------------------------
Now its the only place I have seen it reported so far. Can anyone confirm it?
If it is true then I wish her the best of British Luck.
