Nine Hawks become a single Typhoon as Red Arrows show off their new move
It's the start of another full week of pre-season training for the Red Arrows as they take to the skies in Greece for Exercise Springhawk.
The images depict their "Typhoon" shape against the Greek waters – their formation shows the rough outline of the aircraft.
The second and third Hawks represent the canard wings, the two small wings ahead of the Typhoon's main delta wing.
Exercise Springhawk 2025 is the pivotal pre-season training programme for the RAF's Red Arrows, essential for refining the team's aerobatic routines and ensuring readiness for the upcoming display season.
Earlier this year, the team took off from their home base of RAF Waddington for rigorous training in Croatia.
They refined their manoeuvres and showcased the remarkable capabilities of their Hawk T1 jets.
Exercise Springhawk aims to refine the team's skills and synchronisation, ensuring they deliver a captivating spectacle seen by millions during summer airshows.
Even when they’re not training, there's no rest for the Red Arrows. Earlier this year, they marked key occasions like VE Day and the King and Queen's 20th wedding anniversary.
The RAF's aerobatic team and their Italian counterparts, Frecce Tricolori, staged a rare joint flypast in honour of their visit to Italy.
Crowds along The Mall cheered as the Red Arrows soared over Buckingham Palace to mark the 80th anniversary of Victory in Europe Day.
