The Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team, the Red Arrows, have been hard at work in Greece practising ahead of the "team's busiest summer for four years".

Recently released images show the Red Arrows currently deployed to Tanagra Air Base on pre-season display training showing off a wide range of manoeuvres.

Displaying since 1965, the Red Arrows will be taking to the skies with 50 performances spanning June to September – notably a display for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations.
