Excellent explanation we were there on the beach when this happened. We were delighted to hear Red 6 got back safely. For none pilots this was a great explanation thank you.
37 years of flying experience here from Chipmunks in the ATC to grass strips in PNG. Love your content. You are bridging the gap and telling it exactly how it is. The voice of many. Do not stop Sir. Salute.
Did you get your gliding wings?
I did mine at RAF Swanton Morley.
Best week of my life.
@@raypurchase801 yes at RAF Catterick in the old Slingsby T.21. Great times.
@@jasonbrown9979 I've sometimes had dreams about it since.
The thrill of actually getting the gliding wings on my uniform.
Woodvale all the things - for these guys obviously Liverpool closer and more support, but Woodvale all the things :) Hawarden never been to/flown out of there but Sealand is remarkably close; saw the last of the gliders flying out of there.
@@raypurchase801 “if you can fly the brick you can fly anything” my instructor said before my first solo. Not what I wanted to hear. But he was correct.
Brilliant breakdown. Love the humour as well. CW Lemoine is a US fighter pilot I've followed for years and he explains your wing man is your co-pilot in a single seat jet. This is a perfect example of that
Just discovered your channel and it's brilliant. My dad had an engine-out once in a dual-engine fighter and, unfortunately because of the delay on the ejection charges he was upside-down when they went off and got slammed into the canopy (I believe it was a Tornado but can't be sure as I was around 6 or 7 at the time). He ended up with a broken spine and was around six inches shorter by the time he made it home. He was retired from active duty after that and ended up as a squadron leader teaching people how to fly Hawks. He was considered for the Arrows at the time. Also living in Anglesey was the only time I've heard a real sonic boom - It scared the bejesus out of me.
Yes the sonic boom is definitely a " what the fuck was that " moment I heard it once when I was a kid here just outside London and it probable was an EE Lightning that caused it. We had a sonic boom a few years ago and it was heard all over the East and South East of England, apparently it was a QRA scramble to intercept a Russian aircraft and the RAF boys had to shove the throttle through the gate to get to the intruder in timely fashion. What a nice noise it made!
Tim, I always enjoy your videos but this one will stand out for some time. Thank you for breaking this down and explaining it all for us. I’m really glad the pilot landed safely.
Take care and stay safe
I stumbled across your channel just by chance and il be honest I wasn’t to sure at first. I must say that you got me hooked with this video. Your videos are like a good website, easy to navigate, just the right amount of information and to the point without speaking in riddles. Well worth a return to watch more.
Fascinating to hear the comms in a real life emergency, esp the silence after the declared strike. Aviate, navigate, communicate in action! Thanks for a great video Tim.
That was interesting Think I mite play it to my cadets. As air cadet they love the reds
Thanks for the thorough debrief. It was difficult to hear properly on my scanner, being on Kimmel beach under the flight line! Great job by all, especially 6 for being so cool in this situation ❤️
Thanks for the analysis Tim, much appreciated. Good to hear he’s OK.
This analysis is phenomenal Tim. I'm not a pilot so this is super interesting. Thanks very much for making it.
Nice vlog and great audio. Still have my radio ears after serving as comms in the RAF and having been at 81 SU Kinloss back in the day. Glad 6 made it down safe and sound bet he had a code brown moment. Flew the plane and nice backup from 7. Per Ardua Ad Astra
This has been a fascinating watch. I'm a Rhyl resident and get to see the Air Shows. On the day of this incident, I was at home watching on the Drive Way. You could see the Show from there. I didn't see the incident, but I could see 5 Red Arrows in formation, circling our House for a good 5-10 minutes. So all that was in time whilst Red 6 was escorted by Red 7. I was oblivious at the time to what had happened. So watching this video was a incredible insight to what was going on. Your amazing knowledge and presentation has made it all clear to me both the seriousness of the situation and the professionalism of the Red Arrows Team. Thank you very much & I will be subscribing to your channel. Keep up your good work!
Thanks Tim. Fascinating insight into an emergency procedure with, thankfully, of course, a happy ending.
Brilliant insight Tim. Many thanks. Scary as hell that one.
Was near the Prom when this happened, didnt see or hear anything at the time just noticed one of the Arrows pulled off and went away, wasnt till a little bit later we found out he hit a bird! Glad it wasnt worse!
Very informative and interesting Tim, hope you can do more commentary on any other future events such as this. Thanks Tim.
Thanks Tim, great description of the audio. I was there on Sunday and must say with credit to the Reds, it was all very professionally handled as you would expect. It's nice to hear the other dimension from the audio.
By the way, when you explained that comms had paused for 6 to square himself away, everyone off the net... we used to call that the "Condor moment" in the Army, say just after a contact. We would send the initial contact report wait out then have the Condor moment while you'd plan your next intentions. 😉
'Contact, Wait Out', I remember it well.
That was probably based on a series of adverts that were shown on British tv back in the 80's, for 'Condor' pipe tobacco. Calm from chaos and all that... ;-)

This was a really interesting breakdown of their comms. I was a Bournemouth Airshow last Thursday and Red 6 had issues again and the display was ended prematurely… poor chap, not his week! Thank you for sharing this ✈️
Me too.
Fantastic analysis video, I was hooked on this one from about 30 seconds in.
great job ,thanks for the audio and understanding the commentary
Wow that's an amazing explanation Tim.. Thanks for that
I grew up near Harwarden. When training for the army I used to get the bus, the B4, into Chester & run the 10 miles back home, past the airport there. We always referred to it as Broughton Airfield though. there is a little brook, quite sure it runs up the north west side of the airfield there, we used to go fishing for trout & eels in the fields to the south west of the runway back in the late 70's early 80's before I joined up. they were the days back then.
I was driving down the a 55 and seen these 2 fly over me, one with smoke following behind both low and low speed 👍 I knew something was wrong but only found out next day, great channel 👍👌
How is the bird doing? 😆🤷♂️
Really interesting to hear that, must have been a bit traumatic.
On another note, RED2 gave my little boy a flight map when he met him at Blackpool the other week. He loved meeting his hero’s.
Thank's for using my picture in your video
Just dropped across this channel - brilliant explanation from someone who very clearly knows what he is talking about. Just subscribed!!
I was there on Rhyl prom when this happened as well (I live in Rhyl). So pleased the pilot was ok apart from being shook up.
Same here! I don't live too far, just in Abergele:) great display
I was hoping the A2A audio would pop up as i listen to the Reds a lot. love your videos @FastJetPerformance and glad you covered it. Nice and concise with some cold hard truths and a bit of Hanz Gruber. keep the videos coming.
Great analysis. I liked the insight into the radio silence following the impact. Mind you, I bet Gregor was also really angry at that point. I expect he was spitting feathers.
Great video Tim, thanks for the insight.
30mins before I did my first Solo Flight in a powered aircraft, I was on a dual training flight with my instructor when we had a Bird Strike on final Approach.
Needless to say I am not a fan of Seagulls either !!!
Fortunately after a debrief and and a thorough inspection of the aircraft by an engineer, my solo flight went without a hitch.
I can only imagine what it must have been like for Red 6, flying a complex aircraft after a direct hit to the face.
Despite the politics on the ground, yet again the pilot's of the Royal Air Force show they are amongst the best professional Aviators in the world.
Keep up the good work Tim, I appreciate the time and effort you put into these videos.
Thank you, I always appreciate these comments.
Great insight, Tim - thanks. Somewhat more serious than my birdstrike in the Chippie while taking off on Barton's 27. All the black-headed gulls on the field except one juvenile lifted off and flew away north and south. This little chap set off on a heading of 270 and came backwards through the prop. The bits were not substantial and the speed low, so a non-event. For me and the Chippie. ;-)
If it was a chipmunk I'm surprised it didn't hit you from behind 🙂
Great insight, thanks Tim!
That was so interesting thank you for sharing. Glad it was a safe ending. Thank you for your service.
"squawk squawk squawk" 😂 great breakdown as always!
Edge of the seat stuff really interesting thank you. I live at the end of Harwarden and was completely oblivious. The pilot was incredibly brave and professional and a credit to the RAF, as we would expect of course.
Good work all round. Red 1 quickly sorted out the priorities.
The bit about silence at first was interesting.
Great information and break down as always!
That was very interesting understanding what was said, thank you.
I met Monty when I did 4 weeks on the Dead Sparrows building a PEP (Pre Equipment Packup... I'm a stacker) for the first ever far east deployment. He gave me a tour of the hangar and the flight line at Scampton and even let my Dad come and visit when they did a practice display. He was so down to earth and even told me and showed me a piece of a red arrow that he crashed into another red arrow in Greece mid display (it was hung in the tea bar at Scampton). Again, can't thank him enough. This was around 2016. Great bloke!
He Is Very Just Lucky Pilot And Good Job He Didn't Go Down Or Crashed Great Work From His Mate Who Helped Him And Another Pilots As Well
Thanks for the breakdown Tim, the team flew over my house when they finally returned to land. 👍
Great vid, excellent content, explanation and edit. Subscribed!
That was a fascinating video and a great insight into what happened. 👍🏼
Great debrief ! And a very good point about not cycling the engine in a check but just leaving it be until late finals 😀
Wow. How interesting was this. Thanks for posting.
Hi Tim. I too have only just come across your site. Thanks for that video. I appreciated it. Keith
Massive fan of the legends that are, “The Red Arrows” I live in Rhyl. As soon as you said Rhyl I’m like, “ wide awake, WHAT!?
Came across your site for the first time today. Nice job on the explanation. The whole incident was very cooly handled. The guys get a nod of appreciation from me…..(ex-FAA)!
Interesting breakdown, thanks a lot.
Fantastic breakdown Tim nice one!
Good vid, good analysis. Thx for posting
Legend sir!! Knew you were going to do this vid 👍
When the Red Arrows do the Bournemouth airshow they stay in a hotel right next to my work. Always have the time to say hello and genuinely decent blokes.
I was at the airshow on the Saturday, they played so radio traffic over the tannoy system, I couldn't understand a word being said.
Thanks for this amazing breakdown of the traffic and the event itself 👍
WoW cool you knew the brand
@@Billy.Nomates what?
@@legion162 👍
G'day, thanks for the great video - it's my first of yours and enjoyable. Well we know you are legit, Aviate, Navigate and Communicate, but this was a great example of Crew Resource Management, as you don't need to be in the same aircraft to help and assist, as was evidenced by the audio. ATC are your friends too in an emergency. Obv these guys are as pro as you get, but still a nasty surprise when the bird came in - enough to rattle anyone. I look forward to many more of your vids. Cheers mate.
Great explanation Tim, factual and to the point.
Good breakdown sir. The Reds are awesome and total professional handling of a potentially serious incident.
Thanks for the extra detail Tim, comms is complicated enough for laymen, let alone fast paced emergency comms.
Makes a change a red arrows pilot having a bird smash into him rather than smashing into someone else’s bird.
That made me laugh, Tom - very good 😂
@@FastJetPerformance it was too good an opportunity to miss 😂
Good vlog Tim 👍🏴
brilliant super 6 got home safe thanks for the info 😁
Great job explaining that, to the point and with a bit of humour as well
Great explanation, thank you.
The seagull squawking is just 😘 Brilliant commentary.
He says "I'll check the wind for each runway"
Yes, I think you are right.
Great video Tim well done
I remember just before I got to Valley in the early 80's a Hawk had a bird strike similar to this, the pilot lost an eye if I remember correctly.
Really interesting to listen to. Great video thanks.
I’m new here and glad I found this channel it’s awesome thank you
Thanks Tim for sharing, what works best in aviation is “KISS”, the service should know that to get their mess sorted out. Cheers.
For such a small airport, Hawarden has had its fair share of history!
Love this, and the seagull comment at the end had me laughing out loud
Sad to see it was RAF Scampton closing ceremony yesterday too.
A celebration event apparently according to the RAF... bilge! LOL
60 years of Armed forces shrinkage not much left all too soon.
I look forward to seeing these guys every year at the Rhyl Air Show. They always fly over my house. When they were flying Gnats I saw them at Llandudno. Fantastic! As always.
Succinct and well presented. Cheers Tim.
Great explanation
Ive mentioned this before Tim, but at Warton we had a large bore air gun we used to fire chickens at Tornado canopies.
Everything was tested.
Reminds me of when a deer came through the front window of my Volvo a few years back. Heck of a bang at 60mph, no idea what it's like at 300knots ( a seagull that is, not a deer).
Yerse... was that the one built by Bristol Aero Engines back in the day? The one that was loaned to the French with hilarious results? Used a barrel from a WW2 AA gun?
Mass x Velocity
@Back2TheBike "Reminds me of when a deer came through the front window of my Volvo a few years back. Heck of a bang at 60mph". One year in Poland a PL registered van overtook me and his front n/s part of the windscreen smashed in plus part of the door was badly damaged. All heavily streaked in blood I realised straight away he'd hit a deer as it was a heavily forested area. I breathed a sigh of relief it hadn't happened to me as I was driving a right hand drive vehicle!
In the early 90s, between Crawley and Chichester, I drove OVER a smallish buck at 40mph; a Citroen CX hit it first on the other side of the road, launched it up, and wham, landed in front of me in a Ford Fiesta Mk 1. BOUNCE CRUNCH THUMP, took the gear stick return springs off (iirc, a couple of coil springs hooked at each end) under the car, and that was it as far as damage for my wagon, amazingly enough. The CX? Utterly buggered on the bonnet and top of the windscreen frame, VERY dented roof in the middle, and oh yeah, NO windscreen and a very shocked motorist, the poor bugger.
The buck? Dead as a doornail. Obviously. Likely as not on the butchers hook the next morning 🤣
I reckon if a deer comes through the canopy you are probably too low!
Fantastic how you explained this video.
Someone actually caught this on film at Rhyl thank god he was ok ps great video mate so informative thank you so much for your service 🤜🤛❤️
great video thanks!
Great insight ...cheers.
Superb analysis, superb flying. The Reds have taken some stick recently, but the airmanship, teamwork and final outcome was simply Eclat on the day. Well done from this ice-cream licking, SuperCub weekend-warrior.
what stick have they taken? asking genuinely
@@joshuajoshua2051 a bit late to reply, the red arrows team went down from 9 to 7, one pilot was suspended, 1 left due to the toxic nature in the work place, I believe 1 pilot was having an affair with a junior pilot and was sacked, an internal investigation was carried out with regards to behaviour, bullying, harassment, I think that was not just the pilots but the whole support group, ground staff etc.
That is just stuff from memory, so you'd have to actually look it up to be sure taht I've remembered correctly, things are not rosey right now in the team.
Brilliant, nice one 👍👍
Hi! Thanks for the translation and I’m glad it worked out ok, there’s one thing I! As an ex RAF plumber would like to know, a pilot who knows the workings of the det cord, well my gast as never been so flabered! Good descriptions though thanks. Worked on Harrier GR1s and 3s Wilders and Gut. Much appreciated.
Cheers aah kid😀
15:17 I guess he asked something along the lines of "6 from 7, do you have the runway in sight?"
Outstanding flying
the Hans Gruber reference was sublime. I tip my hat sir
And didn't get a copyright strike either WIN!
Great vid thanks
Gregor isn't having any luck recently, this and then a week later engine problems at Bournemouth 🤣
Great video thanks
Back in the 80s the Red arrows were passing near Carlisle (EGNC) and warned us of that fact. EGNC tower asked if we could have a fly-by. They very obligingly flew down the length of runway 25 and one of them experienced a bird strike then. He had to circle and land. The pilot went home by bus and his Hawk spent around a week sitting in our hangar amongst the C152s and Warriors.
That's excellent, you caught a Hawk - skillz 🤣👍
I was at the Blackpool Air show and there was thousands of seagulls it must be a constant threat that may need more consideration.
So weird seeing this as the reds also suffered a bird strike at the Midland air festival in June
I’d imagine that to be pretty scary .Been hit well scuffed by a pigeon on top off motorbike helmet felt like getting hit with a hammer ,
I’ll say I take my hat off to these guys never had a clue about how they pulled off that amazing trick ,.,.stuck .
I had engine failing at 600 feet after takeoff 2 weeks ago, quick pan call and back on ground alternate runway in 20 seconds. No time to think just act.
What simulator was that in?
@@nealparry hahahaha
@@nealparry No simulation, scary thing is we can't really find what is wrong with the engine, plugs and carb. been replaced, runs fine.
@@flybobbie1449 what plane ?
Great work, fly the jet first - comm is a luxury but not needed.
Great video.
Situated 25 miles SSW, I was listening to this live on my MVT-7100
10:40 is something like "standby wind for each runway"
Good call, AtomicTim - it could be '*surface* wind for each runway - many thanks!
