Red Arrows: Inside the Bubble
"Smoke on, go!" from 1983 is here:
2006 at Tanagra is here:
Haven't found a link to the Raymond Baxter "hobbies include clock repairing" vid as yet.
My favourite Reds moments?
1. Very low, slow, smokey flypast in leader's benefit on a hot, humid day at Bentwaters around '73, right over the Blue Angels as they were opening their canopies in unison. It was several minutes before the smoke cleared and the Blues were still choking and in disarray.
2. Their departure from Chiv in '75(?) when 229OCU closed. We tried our hardest not to duck, but had to (a bit!).
Still think the Hawk would look better without the white stripe, A la Gnat.
The Uxbridge English dictionary defines 'jets' as an abbreviation of the nickname for the Patrouille de France, "Les Courgettes".
French schoolchildren are often heard at airshows shouting excitedly: "Cor, jets"
Anybody sat on WH yet? Oh, nevermind, too late.
