Red Arrows Training at Kastelli (20 March 2010)

An essential part of the Red Arrows’ training is to practise away from their base in Scampton, Lincolnshire in order to gain experience of different terrain in clear weather conditions.  The blue skies of Kastelli in Crete were ideal for the Red Arrows to carry out their overland training and perfect their routines before the beginning of their display season in the summer.
