The Red Arrows performing a practice display over RAF Waddington - Friday 13 August 2021. Only 8 aircraft, due to one developing some problem before departure from Scampton. A windy afternoon, notice how the south-westerly wind on the day compresses the smoke trail at the apex of the 180° turn.

12/08/21 RAF Valley Families Day

The moment Anarchy 1 passes just below the clouds and across the sun during its display causing the light refraction in the cloud vapor and an explosion of colour. A windy but very memorable day.
