Re: Red Arrows will display with 7 rather than 9 Hawks this season

The other unann...

FJT is going to continue - albeit reduced - to meet OCU slots and maintain QFI currency. Lots of work going on to enable this to happen safely and within the CV19 guidelines.

Doubt so early in the course she would be wearing the HMSS certainly as a Student. If I was told correctly it stands at 3 on the Typhoon now.
