Credit: UK MOD © Crown copyright 2024/Cover ImagesThe Red Arrows soared into their 60th display season with a flight alongside vintage Folland Gnat jets at RAF Waddington in Lincolnshire on Friday (08March2024). The two heritage craft, one with a bright yellow livery and the other featuring 4 Flying Training School colours, were originally used in the 1960s as RAF training aircraft. Wing Commander Adam Collins said: “The Gnat is synonymous with the earliest days of the Red Arrows and this wonderful chapter of British aviation. “Reuniting the aircraft, at our home base in Lincolnshire, with some of those who helped establish the team during the 1960s ... has been a great backdrop from which to launch our Diamond Season display dates. “It’s through these forthcoming summer shows, colourful flypasts, and engaging ground events that we hope to inspire even more generations.” The Folland Gnat was flown by the Red Arrows from the team’s first season in 1965 until being replaced by the bigger Hawk T1 in 1980. Squadron leader Jon Bond, who will be Red 1 this year, added: “To bring together the past, present, and potential future of the Red Arrows is the perfect way to launch our 60th season display calendar. “The Red Arrows will perform a new, nine-aircraft show at locations across the UK this summer and the whole team of 140 people, both air and ground crew, are humbled by the countless individuals whom have already got in touch to say how they can’t wait to see this diamond display,” he added. The teams’ training continues at RAF Waddington, with the first public display due to take off in late May. The public will be able to enjoy displays across the season including at Blackpool Airshow, Eastbourne International Airshow, the Goodwood Festival of Speed, and Armed Forces’ Day performances. The team will also perform in Canada at four airshows to help celebrate the Royal Canadian Air Force’s centennial. Red Arrows’ pilots all have previous fast-jet, operational experience flying the Tornado, Typhoon, or Harrier. By the beginning of 2024, the Red Arrows had completed nearly 5,000 displays in 57 countries.

_we-visit-the-stunning-light-and-sound-installation-at-redcliffe-caves.webp "Redcliffe Caves have temporarily become the home of an ever growing constellation of lights as part of We Are Warriors.<br/><br/>The caves are made up of a human-made network of caverns and catacombs that run underneath the city and are usually closed to the public.<br/><br/>We Are Warriors is a stunning sound and light installation containing thousands of tiny flickering lights and the voices of 130 women and girls from Bristol aged 8 to 80.<br/><br/>The installation, which is running until June 2, was originally commissioned by Bristol Women’s Voice for their Deeds Not Words programme to mark the 100th anniversary of the first time women were allowed to vote.<br/><br/>We Are Warriors plays tribute to anyone who has felt their voice or presence muffled, silenced or suppressed as the voices lure visitors to the main cavern, which has been adorned with a constellation of LED lights.<br/><br/>The soundscape was created by a series of workshops with diverse women from Bristol brought together with Breathing Fire, Black Women’s Playback Theatre Company. Bristol and Avon Chinese Women’s Group, Bristol Drugs Project, Montpelier High School, Eastwood Park Women’s Prison, Gloucester Road Women’s Institute, Integrate UK (a youth-led charity based in Easton), Redmaid’s Junior School and the Wellbeing Group at Wellspring Healthy Living are among the groups and organisations that contributed to the workshops.<br/><br/>Tickets cost £10.80 (with booking fees) per adult, £5.50 (with booking fees) for ages 5 to 17, £9.96 (with booking fees) for students, NHS and Low Income, and free for carers and ages 0 to 4, and can be booked here. The last entry is at 6.15pm.<br/><br/>As visitors enter the installation, they will have the opportunity to add their own LED light (provided at the entrance) to the trail. Earplugs are also available upon request.<br/><br/>Visitors are also only allowed within the lit-up trails since the rest of the cavern has holes due to its mining history.")
