UK ARMED FORCES WELCOME PRESIDENT MACRON AS HE AWARDS LEGION D’HONNEUR TO LONDON
Today 18th June 2020
The Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team, the Red Arrows, and the Patrouille De France carried out joint flypasts of both Paris and London on Thursday, 18 June, 2020 – in commemoration of the 80th anniversary of a speech by Charles de Gaulle, Leader of the Free French Forces. Known as the Appeal of 18 June, the speech is often considered to be the origin of the French Resistance to Nazi occupation during the Second World War. De Gaulle spoke to the French people from London after the fall of France and was broadcast live by BBC radio. He stressed France was not alone and reminded those listening that Great Britain would support the French to retake their country. It is regarded as one of the most important speeches in French history.
Following the Patrouille De France over Paris, past monuments such as Arc de Triompe and the Eiffel Tower on this 80th anniversary reinforces the bond between our nation, it is a great honour.
The flypast was then mirrored over London, this time with the Red Arrows leading the 18 jet formation over historic buildings such as Buckingham Palace, Horse Guards and Number 10 Downing Street.
Officially known as the Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team, the Red Arrows showcase the excellence of the RAF and represent the United Kingdom both at home and overseas. The team consists of 11 pilots, nine of whom fly in the display, and more than 100 support personnel and technicians.

Springhawk 21 Red Arrows Display Practice
Images taken from the back seat of Red 10ís jet during a photo chase.
The 9 jets is diamond formation.
Flying in glorious Greek sunshine, this is the Red Arrows perfecting and polishing manoeuvres ahead of the forthcoming display season.
The Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team has deployed to Greece to carry out this essential pre-season training.
The five-week visit, which has recently got underway, is known as Exercise Springhawk and concludes at the end of May.
It allows the Red Arrows to prepare a safe, visually-appealing and world-class display.
The Red Arrowsí deployment to Greece means the team can operate in much more settled weather conditions than are often found in the UK and at its home base in Lincolnshire.
Springhawk, which is an annual exercise, is an extremely valuable, focussed and intense training period for both the Red Arrowsí air and ground crews.
The deployment provides opportunity to fly up to three times a day, with the aim of improving through every sortie and fully testing each aspect of the teamís activities.
A successful training exercise will permit the team to complete strict annual assessments on schedule, ready to perform for millions of people at what is expected to be a busy summer season in the UK.
The superb aerial imagery of the Red Arrows training in Greece was taken by Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team photographer Corporal Adam Fletcher flying with Red 10, Squadron Leader Adam Collins, in a photo chase flight.
The Red Arrows are extremely grateful for the support received from the Hellenic Air Force, the Greek authorities and the British Embassy ñ all of whom have worked closely to plan this exercise.
