Our trip to RAF Coningsby

July 23, 2021

The Red Arrows

We met Squadron Leader Adam Collins, Red 10, the team’s safety supervisor &  Red Arrows display commentator. He took the time to talk to us and answer questions about flying for (and meeting) The Queen, G-Forces & the special suits the pilots wear to protect themselves (it's between 3 and 7G in the Red Arrows - up to 9G in a Typhoon), and how they change the colour of the smoke during the displays with a 'special switch'. Truly inspirational!!!

He was part of the display at Wembley for the Euro 2020 Final, and is off to Duxford next.


We then saw the Red Arrows display, which was amazing!
