Red Arrows prepare for Olympics
The Red Arrows allowed us a sneak preview of Tuesday's Olympic Torch display.
Calm under pressure
The Red Arrows were practising hard today for their first Olympic event.
On Tuesday the team, based in Lincolnshire, will perform as the torch arrives at Yarborough Sports Ground to light the cauldron on 27 June.
It will be the first time they will fly as a team of nine after the departure of their first female pilot.
They will also take part in the Olympic opening ceremony.
Squadron Leader Jim Turner said: "It's a fantastic year to be the leader of the Red Arrows. "It will be an incredibly proud moment to be part of the flypast for the relay on Wednesday.
"We are also looking forward to the Olympics, even though there will be extreme pressure and an audience in the multi-millions."
