The Red Arrows, Lincolnshire’s pride and joy, put on a scintillating display in Rome, Italy, flying in harmony with their Italian counterparts, the Frecce Tricolori. The RAF Waddington-based squadron performed this enthralling flypast on Tuesday, marking a four-day state visit by King Charles and Queen Camilla. In a powerful symbol of unity, the pilots released a cascade of smoke, beautifully blending the colours of both the British and Italian flags over Rome’s skyline. Known officially as the Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team, the Red Arrows are next set to bring their aerial spectacle to the VE Day 80 celebrations in London this coming 5th of May.
