EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, Mr Bill Adams, the duty officer at Newcastle Airport, warmly greets Squadron Leader Dennis Hazell. The atmosphere is electric as the RAF's renowned Red Arrows aerobatic team bursts into the sky above the airport, showcasing their awe-inspiring skills in an impromptu demonstration. With precision and daring, they race across the airport grounds, barely skimming the ground with a dense cloud trailing behind them. Suddenly, like a burst of fireworks, they explode into a starshell formation, soaring high into the air in every direction. It is hard to believe that just moments ago these ten Folland Gnat jets had completed a swift 350-mile flight from their base in Kent within a mere 38 minutes. The purpose of their visit to Newcastle was to announce the commencement of this year's season of displays. A staggering total of 85 displays were planned for this season alone - including their momentous 500th display since forming as a squadron back in 1965. After refueling at Newcastle Airport, the Red Arrows put on an unforgettable show before swiftly departing once again. However, there is excitement brewing among locals as they eagerly await their return during summer for more spectacular displays at Newcastle, Sunderland and Teesside. This remarkable photograph captures both the anticipation and thrill surrounding this iconic event on April 16th, 1970 - forever preserving it within Memory Lane Prints' collection.
