And so it begins... Today saw the first step in the mammoth task of repainting XL388 with a protective gel coat applied to the fibreglass radome. This will help to seal it against the elements and stop the condition... facebook.com/VulcanXL388/pos…

A change of plan for the summer. I’m honoured to be flying with the Red Arrows again in the Royal Air Force’s centenary year. Mixed emotions at a difficult time for the Team. My thoughts are with Flt Lt Stark as he recovers from his injuries and with Jon Bayliss’ family & friends nitter.gq/rafredarrows/status/98…
Details about the Red Arrows’ forthcoming season, including where the team is displaying in 2018, have been released. Read more information here: goo.gl/2gM66B
