A spectacular start to the 2009 round the world clipper race by the world-renowned RAF display team, the Red Arrows was watched by over 100 thousand people at the Hull Mariner. The aerobatic team gave a display of precision flying, the Hawk jets flying just two metres apart over the River Humber.
On the ground the Band of the Royal Marines played as the home team, Hull & Humber, left Hull Marina to join the rest of the fleet on the river. It
was an emotional experience for the crew, their families and friends who had come to support them on their challenge of a lifetime.
And the Red Arrows produced yet another breath taking performance demonstrating the professionalism of the RAF. And with the team being based at Scampton in Lincolnshire did not have to far to travel to put on this fantastic display.
