- Here's a video from a trip to the hills in June 2015 to see the Red Arrows on their annual joyride through the Mach Loop. When the team overnight at RAF Valley, there's a good chance of seeing them transit the Mach Loop on the way back to their home base at RAF Scampton, Lincolnshire. The pilots will have flown "The Loop" many times while training at low level in Wales, and this is the oportunity to get their photograph taken in the red Hawk jet. It's also a great opprortunity for the "Blues" to have a ride in the back, with many taking the opportunity to film their trip themselves.
Fantastic!!! This squadron will always bring the "Great" back into Britain!!! Much love and respect for sharing x
4:44 those guys standing on the hill just had an amazing airshow
i Was lucky enough to get a back seat in hawk back in the 80`s,its a beauty of an a\c like a sportscar of the skies....you see the back seaters,they are the a\c ground crews,they are regularly given a flight as a thankyou for their hardwork to each of the Red Arrows a\c and pilot they maintain.
Massive smiles. So proud. Thank you so much.
quality video and pictures. a few years ago I would of travelled hours in a car hiked a few more just to see this. a few clicks on TH-cam and I'm there. thanks to the uploader - much appreciated
Absolutely fantastic footage and without doubt some spectacular photos!! Hats off to you!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Of all the aircraft that go through the loop the Hawk drivers are easily the sportiest. F 15s and Tornadoes exude power, but you need a Hawk driver for a bit of a show. Lovely touch at 3:55 to put on the smoke, and again at 4:35 with smoke and a little bit of a display for the photographers. Those pilots are gentlemen every one of them, and I include in that comment the ladies who have flown or are flying with the Reds.
That last shot inverted with smoke was the money shot :)
I remember that day....they always put on a show for the photographers...great pilots,they always do that bit more for us.....the rear seaters that day were that aircrafts maintenance crews,they are often given a day out in back seat....I flew back seta in 1980`s,in a 213 sqd hawk...from St Athan to valley,then via snowden back to St Athans....will never forget it...sea level at 600mph awesome doesnt do it...
Nice to see ‘The Blues’ being taken out for a thrilling flight. Lucky lads and lasses. 👍🏼
Arrows always say hello with some smoke and nice moves....top stuff.
You know your on a good day out when your looking down at aircraft 👍
Great camera work and great show. Bravo Red Arrows!
thank you for sharing, I LOVE the Red Arrows.
ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT. THEY ARE THE BEST IN THE WORLD!!! PROUD TO BE BRITISH!!!
Some serious posing for the cameras there. Nice to see the RAF giving the lads and lasses on the hillside some great photos - I'm sure there were a few personal copies requested.
I went camping down on the lake Tal-y-llyn with the scouts back in 1976 and we were regularly buzzed by the RAF on our hikes!
Spectacular countryside and flying! Brilliant stuff..
fantastic footage! The RAF fly so much lower then any other air force!!! Now my wife and son want me to take them there!!!
That is not true, that is not true at all. Many, including the RAF have an altitude limit of 250ft. And in some areas of the UK that are specifically for military 'war games' they are allowed to fly down to 100ft.
@@nvstewart there are other air forces that fly low, but the RAF are well known for their low -level flying skills.
@@simonmoses4023 Yes, I am not to far from RAF Valley so get to see it all the time and are into aircraft and have heard about that a lot, but you stated that the 'RAF fly so much lower than other air force", again, not true. Being known for low level skills is different to flying lower than other countries.
There are videos out there of French pilots flying 15-25 ft off the ground for a prolonged period of time in their fighters in a theater of war, the same as the Panavia Tornados in Desert Storm.
And Videos of other airforces flying low through canyons and mountains at low level too. Yes, pilots from other countries come to the RAF to get taught how to fly low level on a professional level, and perhaps to learn new techniques their airforce does not teach. Going as low as you can is more about bottle and guts rather than skill.
War has no altitude restrictions, so perhaps low flying skills of the RAF became famous for their low flying skills in WW2, perhaps they were the first to see the advantages of it and so were the first to demonstrate it in a war setting before anybody else thought of it. That is a possibility.
@@nvstewart During the 1st gulf war the RAF were given the task of knocking out strategic targets (radar installations etc) which are the hardest targets to take out. They were given this task due to their pochant for low-level flying and their reputation for such missions. This was the case, and still is due to the fact that they fly consistently lower than most other air forces around the world. Yes, you get other air forces flying low, but not as consistently as the RAF. Its a well known speciality of the RAF.
@@nvstewart fun fact the RAAF (Aussie) have a lower approval at night for certain types. Reason being, NGVs make it easier to see power lines than during the day!
For the person who said loop yes Mach no...... The Mach bit is an abbreviation of the nearby village of Machynlledd (sp)

Paul,
Thank you, I'm a bit of a UTube Virgin.....but your valuable advice is much appreciated, and if I ever venture onto this site again, I will bear it in mind. Diolch yn fawr.
Very very good to watch . I am sure the guys from scampton enjoyed watching .
I was in the parking lot at RIC waiting for the shuttle bus to the terminal. Got talking to a 737 pilot who was ex USAF. F15's I think. I'm a Brit and he was telling me about the joint exercises the USAF and the RAF do. This conversation was in cira. 2006. I remember him telling me that he and his buddies thought they were the dogs bollocks flying at 100'. Then they looked down and saw the RAF in their Tornados flying at 50'. Anyway, love the Yanks. Brothers in arms.
Hope to see them preform live one day
why would you want to type a letter while watching the red arrows. strange.
+usandthem73 "Dear Sir,
I wish to complain about the noise from aircraft in this valley.
Yours, Disgusted, Tunbridge Wales"
You're having a laugh hey? War planes v Sheep?!?
usandthem73 it the shutter of the camera you idiot.
.......nah, I'll let it go.
lol i think the same as you but don't say most of it out loud
Incredible footage!!
Hawks are lovely looking planes. They performed really well when used to hit villages in Indonesia and Timor and made an excellent low cost bomber and had a high level of cost effective killing.
funny that is what a warplane is meant to do. the hawk is a ground attack plane
The last pass.... probably the best one ever in the loop???
They were all 'two up' so I guess this was a day out for the blue team who keep these birds flying ...
Brilliant video ...
And for their next trick the red arrows will fly the Mach loop upside down. (I know it was mostly over banking, but seriously I swear a couple of the last ones were fully upside down.)
My pilot made me wave at everyone when we did that.😁😁
Nicely filmed
Awesome, thanks for sharing
Thanks, fantastic .
Beautiful 😊👍
Brilliant
Some awesome photos there mate
+Colin Bamforth I was about to write almost the exact same thing :)
The Hawk may be a trainer but it is a cracking aircraft.
I love the red arrows
Wonderful!
A very good Video Lowfly 100 out 10
Amazing.
AWESOME!
Hi amazing video of the Reds great pictures to I like that last picture you took of the red arrow and I was wondering if it's alright to use as my header picture on Facebook
Absolutely awesome - is there an opportunity to buy the prints from the stills? I think one was of my son in the Hawk
Lovely shots! What camera/lens/tripod do you use for filming? Many thanks. :-)
Class act
how many pictures of the same looking plane do ya want ?
hundreds
You clearly know nothing about photography. Especially in aviation. You always take as many pics as you can cause for every 50 pics you will maybe have 5 good ones.
Different pilots so its NEVER the same 'jet' .....'hawk'
Good video fella.. what size lenes do you guys use ??
Nice pictures. :-)
big big Red arrows 👍👍👍👍✈✈✈✈✈✈✈✈✈✈
sip masih dio.
yea i did this years ago.. i took 3 shots.. not 456.. i still sell my 3 shots now..
top..... very good excellent
Every time I see that lake I expect to see a big banner that says "Help"! lol
Re: 28 Weeks Later
Ground crew in the back seat. M.
sip itulah ya allah muka.
Where is this?
OK, where do I buy a ticket ?
Ma le macchine fotografiche non si possono silenziare?
who was the pilot?
OMG,,,,,,,,,
Lucky bugger sitting behind pilot, blue coveralls must be a ground technician.
My overalls would have an ugly brown stain on them!..................
They are called Circus 1-10 each Pilot A/C has a personal Ground Technician and they ride in the back to and from the Airshows.
is this low quality?
L-39??
BAe Hawk T1.
Nice photos but it had been a cooler event more powerful planes.
Photos were better than the footage, whoever was standing in front of you while you were filming needs a shove off the edge
Wind noise and shutter click - 0/10
loops yes...mach no
Loop yes mach yes.
Educate yourself
I thought it was called Mach loop cos I thought they went through at mach 1 but see it's short for place name in other comment 😂😂😂
That final aircraft.
A bit of smoke, some inversion, stand on my tale and roll out the top ... best pass through the loop ever, Pure Quality!
