Leuchars airshows

The French Air Force's aerobatic demonstration team. We saw them training in the south of France less than a week before this - later found out they are stationed at Salon-de-Provence, which explains why!

This is a poignant photo of the Red Arrows, as one plane is missing from the diamond nine formation. The team flew one plane short after team member Jon Egging tragically died in a crash during a show only a few weeks earlier. They decided to continue flying after this, but temporarily fly one plane short as a tribute.
