One of the highlights of today’s flying display programme at the Royal International Air Tattoo, the Royal Air Force Red Arrows and British Airways Airbus A380.

The formation flew two fabulous passes over RAF Fairford earlier this afternoon, after which the A380 performed a spectacular missed approach before departing. These images were captured by photographer Jamie Hunter from the back seat of a 10th Red Arrows’ Hawk.

A highlight of RIAT ’13 no doubt – and already a contender for highlight of the season.
Many thanks to RIAT for supplying the images.
Absolutely superb photographs. No doubt they will be published somewhere. They will make fine gifts!!!
