The Red Arrows - Clarendon Party

"Roger Wilco Red Leader..."

Acknowledged as one of the world's premier aerobatic teams, the Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team, The Red Arrows, is the public face of the Royal Air Force.

In 2009, The Red Arrows has pilots from all four front-line fast jet types; Jaguar GR3, Tornado GR4, Tornado F3 and Harrier GR9. All Red Arrows pilots have previously served as front line fast jet pilots around the world and many of the 2009 team have recently returned from operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.

On Friday 21st September, the clock struck 1.30 and the sky was filled with the RAF's finest delivering a breathtaking aerial display at the famous Bournemouth Air show. Repeating the success of last year's roof top party, our Bournemouth Team staged another fizzy and nibbles party on Bristol and West House. 60 Clarendon Clients saw this spectacular free air show and sipped chilled wine on an unusually sunny day in Bournemouth.

For photos of our Clarendon Clients enjoying the show, please click here. Many thanks to Peter from APT Promotions Ltd who took these lovely photographs.
