Notes:

Sq Ldr Darren Arch of 208 Sqn lifts off Runway 14 as part of a nine-ship formation display at the Valley Aviation Society charity photo-call. The formation was uncannily tight and steady in the best Red Arrows tradition, albeit without the aerobatics, a superb achievement for a squadron that is not a display team.
