The Reds have just completed their display at Duxford.
The display was up to their usual high quality, but with low cloud my photos are sh!t.
However, going through the pictures, I noticed that at least two of the Jets had a back seat "passenger".
I thought they were supposed to fly displays solo, and were only allowed two up in training and transit flights.

Actually the opposite Kevin, its regular for other display teams to take a back seat during the Reds displays, or sometimes the Blues (Reds engineers) will also get a "thank you" trip.
