Wg Cmdr Jas Hawker is hanging up his red grow bag and leaving the Red Arrows - he's off to Australia.

Suit off - GO! :P

Likewise, had the pleasure of spending some time with him at Scampton in the past (he's in the front seat doing the driving in my Avatar picture actually!) and he's a very friendly and helpful guy. I've met a few of the Red's Bosses over the years (all good, some great, one who was a miserable git!) but Jas definitely stands-out as a really good guy. He'll be a hard act to follow!
