Happy 50th Birthday to the amazing Hawk! On this day in 1974 the prototype took to the sky for the first time What a delightful aircraft to fly

Another day, another warbird! Very privileged to fly this beautiful machine yesterday, P-51 (CA-18) Mustang ‘Jersey Jerk’. Amazing to see the development in technology from the Spitfire to this in just a few years. A very different machine but a true delight 📷: @DarrenHarbar

Rule Number One… NEVER distract @RAFRed10 A brilliant weekend in the commentary team at @Sywell2024 topped off by my first view of the @rafredarrows in their 60th display season. Bravo chaps 👏🏻👏🏻

Having just listened to a podcast featuring @MikeLingPilot I thought a little “4 ages of Lingy” post might be entertaining… 😁

On this day last year, flying Spitfire Vc EE602 in formation with Nick Smith in Hispano Buchon C.4K-105 (painted as Messerschmitt Bf 109 ‘White 9’) Such a privilege! #OTD #spitfire #flying 📷: @RichardPaver

Another treat on Friday. Taking off in this absolutely stunning 1936 Lockheed 12A Electra Junior G-AFTL was originally owned by Sidney Cotton and was used to take spy photos for MI6 in WW2, often with senior Luftwaffe officers onboard. Incredible history! 📷: Nigel Harrison

A “Crazy Sunset”. Emosh times at the @thebladesteam summer ball last night as we watched the team display for the last time…although a little sad it was a fab celebration of so many great memories with some of the best people ever. The Blades Family 😘
