RAF Waddington Air Display, Lincolnshire – Sunday 25 June

So the Team got to fly the full display in half decent weather, not a common experience in the depths of a UK summer! Many thanks to Kevin Wills who captured these images of the Team in full flight.

The display begins with the Lynx flying backward between the four Gazelles…..
