PDA

I haven't seen anything published officially either, but I have seen tweets from one of the 2012 team which would suggest that they have received PDA.
He was pictured in his red suit, and I don't think they can wear that until PDA has been granted.

I believe they did their first public display of the season as a 7 ship at Folkestone yesterday. Anyone see it? Presume it is shorter than before but hope it went well and looked good.

Microphone failure for Synchro Leader in the second-half so no synchro passes for safety. Rest went as planned.

Had the great pleasure of seeing the Patrouille in France recently. Brilliant stuff. They were 8 ship and did a superb display.

I recall the Reds with 7 way back and they will be as good in the coming season as they were then. IIRC each of the premier teams has, at one time or another, had at least one incident to curtail and alter their display. The Reds will I suggest give a good diplay this year with 7.

I am looking forward to the Reds doing a great season with 7 but was also delighted to see them doing such a good job with their extra 2 for the Jubilee flypast – great to see you guys, all the best for the rest of the season.

Reds over London

Who flew 8 & 9 during the flypast? Has Parky been dragged back, again? Poor sod.

I believe that the two extra pilots making up the 9 for flypasts this season are Red 8 (Dave Davis) and Red 10 (Mike Ling).

Mike back from his very close encounter with Dave! Great stuff, good to see him back, what a very lucky boy.

As much as I've enjoyed being able to have a lie-in since they left it means i can't have a play with the camera while on the cliffs...









Having watched the practices for a few weeks i can safely say this season will be as good as any other.

I quite like the 7 ship set-up. Here are a few photos I took of their display practice at Scampton on 28 May...

The Reds have set up a new official Facebook page, and very good it is too. Full of useful and interesting stuff for us anoraks following their progress, and some cracking photos.
I mentioned the Reds! Please don't delete this post!
